平特五不中 Reporter: Science fair fun in Kahnaw脿:ke

Published: 17 May 2024

Every year in Kahnaw脿:ke, a Kanien:keha鈥檏a community on Montreal鈥檚 South Shore, students present their projects at a science fair organized by the Kahnaw脿:ke Education Center (KEC).

For more than 15 years, KEC Science Curriculum Consultant Kathy Walsh has supported students at schools across the community as they prepare projects in the weeks leading up to the annual fair. This year, she and KEC Science Projects Liaison Mya Bordeau enlisted the assistance of 平特五不中鈥檚 Office of Science Outreach to bring 平特五不中 students into the classroom as mentors.
