8 science teachers (Grades 5-12) from the Lord Selkirk School Division recently participated in a ½ day training session in the RBC Youth BIOlab Jeunesse. Led by Steve Jones, Teaching Liaison, the teachers were shown how students isolate and count cells.
The RBC Youth BIOlab Jeunesse teaching laboratory was built with support from Manitoba Education, RBC, and the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation and opened its doors to students in Spring 2013. The program is delivered in partnership with Manitoba school divisions and with the support of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to connect St-Boniface Hospital and Research Centre to classroom learning.
