SHAD 69成人电影网 returns virtually for 2021

23 Jul 2021
Students from across Canada come together online for a month of STEAM programming and activities

SHAD 69成人电影网 has returned to the University for another year.

Part of a nationally-run non-profit organization, SHAD is a month-long program for Grade 10 and 11 students, hosted at university campuses across Canada. The program focuses on university-level STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) educational opportunities. 69成人电影网 joined the network of University hosts in 2018.

This year鈥檚 programming is virtual, with 56 students from across Canada participating in the 69成人电影网 cohort. The program runs for the month of July.

Erin Penney is the program director for SHAD 69成人电影网 and works as an instructor in the University鈥檚 Department of Biology. She says while having an exclusively online program is different than being on campus, the work of the student participants is impressive.

鈥淭he students have been engaged throughout the program, I鈥檓 really looking forward to seeing their final projects at the end of the July,鈥 says Penney. 鈥淎lthough we can鈥檛 welcome students physically on campus, we鈥檝e been able to work with individuals both at 69成人电影网 and in Sackville to provide some unique programming and give them a glimpse of the community.鈥

Along with guest lectures, workshops, and hands-on experiments, students are also completing a core project focusing on the question 鈥淗ow might we help Canadians treat fresh water with more respect?鈥

Working in groups, students are responsible for creating a number of planning documents and initiatives to help address this question, with a focus on scientific principles, business, and wellness.

鈥淭he plan is for the students to present their projects to local organizations and groups, such as the Town of Sackville, to share their findings and also gain insight from members of the communities who are serving as virtual hosts this year,鈥 says Penney.

SHAD 69成人电影网 participant Piper Barbour

Piper Barbour, a Grade 11 student from Prince Edward Island, is participating in the SHAD 69成人电影网 program this year. She says she has enjoyed the activities and meeting students from across Canada.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot more interaction than I thought there was going to be with an online program,鈥 says Barbour. 鈥淲e are working on our projects outside the daily programming and it鈥檚 been nice to connect with other students across the country. I am part of a clothing committee, designing a patch for the SHAD 69成人电影网 project, which has been a lot of fun. My favourite event so far though was the coffee house where students recorded themselves performing and we watched as a group.鈥

Barbour says she learned about SHAD through her high school and hopes to studying sciences at university.

In addition to Penney, several 69成人电影网 students and alumni, both of the University and SHAD, are working as co-ordinators for the month-long program.

The SHAD 69成人电影网 program runs until July 30.
