Science Rendezvous 2018: Seeds and STEM
Join us for UBC’s 2018 Science Rendezvous festival Saturday, May 12 (10 AM – 2 PM) This year’s theme is “Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead!” and will emphasize science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) research & innovation.
At UBC Education Library, you’ll be able to get your hands dirty with some “Seedy” fun. Plant a seed, make a thematic button, learn about the UBC Seed Lending Library and some of the ways STEAM is explored in Teacher Education. Hosted by Yvonne Dawydiak, Instructional Specialist Faculty of Education and Wendy Traas, UBC Education Library.
