It’s the first-ever SPACE (Sciences Participating with Arts and Culture in Education) Week at Dawson!
From robotics demos to a collective drawing activity, the entire Dawson community is invited to experience exhibitions, project displays, interactive activities and more presented by the student enrichment initiative SPACE, which promotes exploration, discussion, and collaboration beyond the classroom and across disciplines.
As part of this week, Dawson Science student Michael Bomba unveiled an electric guitar he built from scratch in tribute to the Fender Broadcaster, or "The Blackguard", which was the prototype for the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitars in the late '40s.

“I feel so lucky for the support from the Dawson community,” she said in an interview with Dawson’s Communications Office, adding that serving at Dawson has been “such a joy. I am so grateful for the incredible friends and mentors I have found in the Dawson Student Union (DSU), the Dawson College Model UN (DCMUN) team and clubs, who inspire me to push myself further and take on new projects.”
