Science is truly AMAZING! Pictures of colourful plasmids & representations of DNA bands come to life in front of our very eyes when learning with @ABEUTM1 ! Can’t wait for students to experience the same fun, awe & learning! #AmgenCanada
Educators learn how to integrate real-world biotechnology into the class! Gene isolation, recombinant plasmids, gel electrophoresis, bacteria transformation & protein purification! Authentic & rich learning to offer students! 🧬🧪🧫 @ABEUTM1@ABEProgOffice
WOW! Miss McCallion's grade 4 class placed 2nd in the Eco-360 Challenge. We designed a nurdle-catcher to remove plastic pollution from the ocean. Thank you GreenLearning for this amazing educational experience.

Enjoyed Pajama day- we did a survey of what our favourite cookie is! We made a paper airplane… ask us what force is applied? @PVanier_DPCDSB@DPTechTeam
Productive & fun in-school support day @StMarcellinusSS, working with science teachers to integrate coding in SNC1W using @microbit_edu & @InkSmith3D climate action kits. Ts echoed similar feedback as the Gr9’s. “This is so cool!”. Yup. 😎
Awesome a.m. @EdCampionCSS visit to celebrate Ms. Da Silva as the 2023/2024 TOP Secondary Science @ExploreLearning Gizmos TEACHER Leader in @DPCDSBSchools! AND St. Edmund Campion as the Overall TOP Secondary SCHOOL Leader! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 @DP_math@DPTechTeam#dpmath#dptech
Gr9’s @CardinalLegerSS investigate which personal items are conductors or insulators by programming the @microbit_edu. Some written Ss feedback: ‘Super duper cool’, ‘it was so much fun’, ‘I problem solved by testing new ways of doing the coding’, ‘I really enjoyed this’. 😎
Amazing event @EdCampionCSS on Tuesday - @DPCDSBSchools 1st Hackathon! Students using STEM to solve real-world problems all in 8 hours! Huge thank you to the student leaders, administration, staff and sponsors for making this happen! @AlgomaU@GinosPizzaCDN@CityBrampton

Great Q’s from @CabotCatholic Gr9’s after coding with @microbit_edu: How can I continue learning in a fun way like this? How else can coding change the world? How does the micro:bit do so much? Who invented coding? How do electrons travel through the wires?
