Think green! Acadia will welcome students in Grades 10-12 from across Atlantic Canada to explore topics of sustainability and green technologies. Our 28th annual Huggins High School Science Seminar will provide students with a forum to connect with passionate scientists and learn about future opportunities.
This year’s speakers hail from Acadia and beyond, representing a diverse array of scientific topics and disciplines. Morning presentations will explore green technologies, such as a discussion of the Bay of Fundy’s tidal projects and potential, and an introduction to “green chemistry.” Afternoon sessions will approach problems from the lens of sustainability, discussing sustainable practices in aquaculture and how we can encourage others to make positive and necessary environmental changes in our communities.
In addition to several Acadia presenters returning from previous years, the popular panel debate returns in the form of the “Sustainable Earth Debate,” a new spin on last year’s lifeboat debate. This year, a new group of professors will debate whose science is truly the most important for a greener future, with the audience choosing a winner. The event is rounded out by Dr. Vlad Zamlynny’s chemistry show, a perennial favourite that showcases exciting demonstrations.
