U of S-based science camp engages city youth
Children from Meadow Lake are spending their week with dinosaurs, learning about robots, and making rockets.
Science First (SCI-FI) camp, offered by the University of Saskatchewan, is a multidisciplinary camp where campers learn about biology, chemistry, engineering, programming, and various other concepts. Bailey Dietrich is one of the four instructors leading the activities this week at Gateway School.
“We try and bring a couple projects about each one of the topics, to broaden the areas that we talk about and pique interests,” he said.
Dietrich explained campers learned about geology by way of rocks and fossils, and were introduced to physics by creating catapults and simple machines.
