ILA’s 2023 Science Literacy Week Activity
ILA’s Science Literacy Week activities for this year are on the themes of energy, and will comprise two parts.
Part 1: Hands-on Climate & Sustainability Activity for Grades 4-9 learners!
Fun Climate & Sustainability Activity kits will be provided to all registrants in preparation for the workshop so that students may follow along with ILA Mentors who will deliver the activity in-person. This event is scheduled for Friday, September 22nd, 2023, 5:00pm-6:30pm ADT at the ILA Makerspace (1360 Barrington Street, Sexton Campus).
Part 2: ILA will hold an in-person STEM Quiz Tournament on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023, 2:00pm-3:30pm ADT, at the Irving Oil Auditorium (5257 Morris Street, Halifax).
Imhotep’s Legacy Academy has held an annual STEM Quiz Tournament since 2018. The STEM Quiz Tournament provides African Nova Scotian junior high and high school students with an opportunity to compete in a test-of-knowledge contest on STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) subjects, including biodiversity, inventions and innovations, and achievements of scientists and cultural icons throughout Africa and the diaspora.
The STEM Quiz Competition will be open to students from Grades 4 – 12 of African heritage who register for the event. Students may register as a team of 5 players or individually. Individual registrants will be assigned to a team. Teams will be assigned a Coach if necessary.
ILA will use the Kahoot! platform to deliver the energy related questions (e.g., straight answer, multiple-choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank). Student participants will log-in to Kahoot! to answer questions posed by the Quizmaster.
The registration deadline is September 10th, 2023 at 11:59pm. Use this link to REGISTER!
