Students on the Beamlines Information Session
Saturday January 24, 2026
|
Who: Educators Interested in SotB |
The Canadian Light Source is a classroom like no other - and the Students on the Beamlines (SotB) experience is just as unique for both the students and the educators involved. Educators have described it as the best professional development they've ever had - considering they hadn't thought of it as ProD. Student participants describe it as 'science immersion' and an experience that deeply affects their career choices.
This half-day session provides information necessary to contemplate guiding your students through this unique experience at a one-of-a-kind-in-Canada science research facility. We will go over the application process, outline the expectations for educators and students, look at time lines, and illustrate what a typical SotB project entails.
The award winning Students on the Beamlines (SotB) program is an incredible learning experience for students and the teachers/educators who participate.
Call for applications to SotB is open - deadline is April 1, 2026.

Note: The times for this workshop are in CST (Saskatoon time).
Workshop Science Resources Through an Indigenous Lens
Saturday March 28, 2026
|
Who: Educators involved in science education - grade 6 through university |
It's called a workshop for a reason!
Join the CLS team and a panel of educators with experience weaving Indigenous perspectives and western science approaches in their teaching practices. Don't forget to bring one of your resources (a lesson plan, syllabus, assignment, learning resource, assessment plan, etc) that you would like to get advice on how to adapt it to be more inclusive.
You will hear from the panel about their approaches, then take a look at your own resource. Gathering strength from others' perspectives - we will 'workshop' our resources together to create ideas to adapt them.
