July 7, 2010
The federal government announced today it will invest more than $3 million in programs that promote science and engineering education for young people. SFU's popular Science Alive youth program is one of the 51 groups across Canada that will benefit: last year, Science Alive delivered science-focussed workshops and summer camps to more than 7,000 school-aged children in communities across BC including Fort St. John and Haida Gwaii. Mario Pinto, VP Research, can speak on what it takes to build a better scientist, while Science Alive director Laura Bouwman--herself an SFU biology and math student--can talk about what makes science education sparkle.

This is where it all starts. Places in the U.S. and Canada that don't have Children'st Science Museums or experential learning centers are setting the course for lack of interest and lack of choices. Hurray for Science Alive!
