Bellairs brings science programming to Barbadian students
Last week, hundreds of students in Barbados saw science come to life in a whole new way.
As part of the celebrations marking its 70th anniversary, McGill’s Bellairs Research Institute opened its doors to the community Dec. 5. Three hundred students from five local schools were treated to free science kits, lunch and a day of hands-on activities.
The event was a collaboration between McGill, the Ohio-based Center of Science and Industry (COSI), and its partner, the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown. It was presented by Frederic Bertley, BSc’94, PhD’00, the President and CEO of COSI and a member of the Board of Directors of McGill’s Redpath Museum.
