YORKTON – The Yorkton Public Library hosted am in-person 'Scientists in School' virtual program May 11.
The 60-minute virtual workshop from the charitable organization aims to "inspire children to experience a sense of wonder and gain a real understanding about the world around them. We continually strive to maintain our own sense of wonder and passion for what we do, as we instill this passion for inquiry in others," as detailed on the organizations website, scientistsinschool.ca.
"The kids are here going to do it person today," said Coralee Danyluk, Children's Programmer with the YPL, adding, "we have had it as a grab-and-go in the past where they do it at home...we're trying to get back to normal, so we're doing it here."
Danyluk said the May 11th program would focus on youths learning about nature and added that reception for the program has "always been good," noting that the following week's program was booked to capacity.
Danyluk agreed that it's important for kids to learn about different sciences at a young age.
"It makes it fun — these kind of programs make it fun learning."
