Joanne Adourian
I am the STEAM Co-Lead at Elsipogtog School where I have taught for almost 20 years. I have taught upper elementary and middle school science and now I am fortunate to collaborate with our Tech, Art and Language and Culture Teachers to provide hands-on, Inquiry based labs for our kindergarten to grade 8 students.
Our Brilliant Blue Experience: Changing the World One Fishing Rope at a Time
Our team competed in the International Brilliant Blue Challenge. This competition challenges students to design and implement innovative solutions to project and care for the oceans and ocean life on our planet. We will share our experience, talk about how you too can help the oceans and participants will create an art piece that re-purposes old fishing rope so that it can be removed from landfills. You too can help change the world, 1 fishing rope at a time. Student Helpers: Veada, Christine, Kenzi
Collaborative Development of Storybook STEM Kits
The session will discuss the collaborative project between Science East, a hands-on science organization and Elsipogtog School to create inquiry-based STEM Kits highlighting Two-Eyed Seeing using books by Canadian Indigenous authors and hands-on classroom activities.
