Dawson students showcased science experiments under the theme of 'energy' to over 300 visitors at the Eurêka 2023 festival that took place at Parc Jean Drapeau on May 26. Eurêka is a yearly science festival taking place over three days with hundreds of free activities for the whole family.
With the help of Andrew Stewart (Physics) and Brian Mader (Biology), these students went above and beyond by preparing two separate photosynthesis experiments with bilingual graphics and teaching non-stop to the elementary and high school visitors for over three hours straight.
The students were second-year Enviromental Science students: Ruisi Yang, Cassandre De le Sablonnière, Elizabeth Lebuis, Melanie Song Liu and Nicole San Cristobal.
