R EAL SMOOTH
From Wednesday, the 19th to Friday,
the 21st of August 2015, five members of the Pueblo Science
Organization facilitated a workshop for seventy nine (79) science teachers from
forty two (42) high schools at Saint Stanislaus College, Guyana. The purpose of
the workshop was to enhance teaching and learning in the fields of Chemistry,
Physics, Biology and Engineering by enabling teachers to implement simple
experiments in their classrooms.
The five highly enthusiastic and energetic
facilitators demonstrated a fresh approach to teaching secondary school
science. This workshop was a novel experience to the
teachers. All the participants, at some point over the three days clearly
demonstrated joy and even amazement at the simple yet fun ways in which science
can be taught. It was an exciting three days of practical science.
So what does all of the above have to do with the Saints Fall
dance? Well, the Pueblo Science Organization was introduced to the Alumni
Association by one of our own executive committee members, Shar Ramsaywack. The
Association, after meeting with Pueblo Science representatives, was of the
opinion that this could be an excellent way to boost science education
throughout Guyana, and submitted the project to the College Board of Governors,
who in turn offered it to the Guyana Ministry of Education who agreed to
sponsor the major portion of local expenses.
The Toronto Alumni Association in turn sponsored air fares
and materials for the experiments to the tune of Cdn$2,800.00, being funds
raised from events such as the upcoming Fall Dance.
As
a result of this initiative we received the following correspondence:
“On behalf of the science teachers of Guyana, we
wish to thank the members of the St. Stanislaus Toronto Alumni Association, the
local College Association, the Board of Governors of St Stanislaus and the officers
of the Ministry of Education for the initiative in engaging the PUEBLO Science
volunteers to facilitate a successful Camp.”
Submitted with the compliments of teachers:
Marvin Lee - Queen’s
College
Kezia Bess – St.
Stanislaus College
Rashanna Murray – St. Stanislaus College
We are therefore asking for your continued support of our
fund raising events and look forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 17,
2015 at West Rouge Community Centre, 270 Rouge Hills Drive, Toronto. Please
contact any of the names on the flyer to get your tickets (limited to the first
300) early!
