CIHR is proud to support Science with Impact as part of our commitment to reaching out to young people to enhance their knowledge and awaken them to the fascinating world of scientific research.
The Science with Impact training workshop has been developed to help provide researchers with quality training resources to support their youth outreach activities. Consisting of a video, facilitator's handbook and individual workbooks, it combines visual, participatory activities and individual study in a flexible format that can be presented in a 2-8 hour workshop, depending on need.
The material presented by academic experts includes the characteristics of effective educators, how youth learn science, teaching for understanding, designing activities and communicating effectively.
Why not organize a Science with Impact workshop in your institution?

"As a health researcher, I have seized every opportunity possible to talk with young people about science and my own passion for research. I'm very excited about the opportunity to get other researchers involved in engaging young people in the excitement, importance and process of science. I hope you will help us achieve this goal."
Dr. Alan Bernstein, President, CIHR
