Lecture / Seminar
huggins@acadiau.ca
902-585-1434
Every year, we invite talented high school students (Grades 9-12) to join us for an action-packed day of interactive and engaging presentations. At the Huggins High School Science Seminar, you'll learn about different paths to becoming a scientist, and how science can help you to look at everyday life with a different perspective.
Established in 1986 by Dr. Charles Huggins—Acadia alumnus, Chancellor Emeritus, and Nobel laureate—the seminar will introduce you to advances in science and technology that can offer you exciting opportunities for involvement in the future. Topics vary from year to year, and cover a range of different sciences and interests.
In our 2018 seminar, we'll discuss pseudoscience, brain science, and food science. We'll also leave the lecture hall for group activity sessions. You'll see where science actually happens in a university environment by exploring our chemistry building and Motion Lab for activities and experiments involving chemistry, kinesiology, and more.
