Location:  Auditorium/Remote   

Speaker:   Svetlana Barkanova (Memorial University)

Title:     NSERC Chairs for Inclusion in Science and Engineering: Physics in Rural Classrooms Pilot

Abstract: NSERC Chairs for Inclusion in Science and Engineering brings together three leaders to change the face of STEM in the Atlantic region: Dr. Svetlana Barkanova (Physics, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador), Dr. Kevin Hewitt (Physics, Dalhousie University), and Dr. Stephanie MacQuarrie (Chemistry, Cape Breton University), and “Physics in Rural Classrooms” is one the key initiatives the team is launching in 2024. By directly connecting presenters from all over Canada with remote schools, we are providing a welcome resource to teachers and exciting role models to students. Where relevant, the curriculum may refer to the regional priorities and include Indigenous knowledge. The program offers four online guest talks per year to address specific curriculum for each grade for students in Grades 7 to 11. The talk will outline the motivation, logistics, and possible ways for our physics community to engage in the program.
