This past weekend, I attended A Festival of BC Science Writers for Kids and Teens at Beaty Biodiversity Museum at UBC.

It was a delightful experience. I was able to meet some of the authors who wrote the books that my client’s children are using!

The speakers were excellent and I came away inspired. The hard work that we do as educators is for this end: to facilitate “Aha!” moments in young budding scientists. We need to nurture that sense of wonder, that joy, and that ability to experience the thrills in discovery.

It was wonderful to have a group of science writers for children gathering together for a time of sharing expertise. A big “thank you” to Jo-Anne Naslund and her colleagues for making this event possible!
