A class of Grade 11 students at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School in Greater Sudbury spent the day in the chemistry labs at Cambrian College as part of their high school chemistry course.
SUDBURY – Some high school students in Greater Sudbury not only switched rooms for one of their chemistry classes this week: they switched entire schools!
A class of 32 grade 11 students from St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School spent a day in the chemistry labs at Cambrian College, conducting experiments and having some hands-on fun.
Their high school chemistry class is equivalent to a course they would take at the post-secondary level. For the past several years, Cambrian College has opened its labs to the students, so they can complete the requirements of their course.
“We want to make sure students have the chance to experience what chemistry is like at the college level,” explains Hadi Fergani, a professor and program coordinator for Cambrian’s Chemical Engineering programs. “This has been such a successful program, and the students really seem to enjoy the day in our labs. We hope it encourages more students to pursue careers in chemical engineering.”
In addition to spending time in the chemistry labs, students also enjoyed lunch in Cambrian’s Student Life Centre as well as other activities around campus to demonstrate what Cambrian has to offer.
