A Message from the College of Arts & Science “We recognize that there is a large and growing percentage of Aboriginal youth in our province and we want them all to know that no matter what part of the province they live in, they deserve the best in STEM education. Our science outreach programs are committed to helping schools find and create experiences that open students’ eyes, spark exploration and learning and shine a light on the richness of experience they already know. I am so looking forward to meeting those youth who are encouraged by their in-school experiences to continue learning science in high school, and who will join us in post-secondary education and STEM careers in the years ahead!”

- Dr. Peta Bonham-Smith, Vice Dean Science

Our Goals: • to provide fun and engaging science

experiences to students and teachers;

• to form learning partnerships with teachers, schools, and communities;

• to have Science Ambassadors serve as role models to younger generations;

• to engage schools and post-secondary institutions in dialogue to enhance science education overall;

• and to broaden the pool of future U of S students and homegrown STEM professionals!

Why we do it: There has been a steady increase in the participation of First Nations and Métis peoples in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) but these students and professionals remain under-represented compared to their demographic importance in our province – the diversity, richness, and social-relevance of our STEM disciplines suffers as a result, and students are missing out on the social and economic benefits of an exciting array of careers.

What we do: The Science Ambassador Program enhances science teaching and learning in remote Aboriginal communities by providing hands-on support — we work alongside teachers to lead creative and culturally-relevant demonstrations and experiments, facilitate class discussions and student inquiry projects, connect to community priorities, and mentor students exploring possibilities for careers and continuing education.

Our U of S Science Ambassador Program Initiated in 2007 by Dr. Julita Vassileva, NSERC/Cameco Prairie Women in Science and Engineering Chair (2006-2011), as of 2014 the Science Ambassador Program has arranged 46 Science Ambassador placements in 12 remote communities across the three prairie provinces.

Feedback in the form of questionnaires and qualitative surveys issued between 2007 and 2011 indicated a positive correlation between time spent with Science Ambassadors and student attitudes toward higher-level classes and jobs related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine and the success of women in these careers (Vassileva, J. 2011. NSERC PrairieWISE reports: http://wise.usask.ca/).

Now offered through the College of Arts & Science, with broad support from the University of Saskatchewan’s science, engineering, agriculture and health science colleges, we’ve seen the program’s capacity grow to reach more remote community schools, and we have enjoyed new opportunities for dialogue with participating communities about ways to build pathways for motivated Aboriginal students to access academic and professional STEM programs in years to come.

The Science Ambassador Program is unique in that it engages university STEM students in long-term placements of 4-6 weeks, harnessing their growing disciplinary-expertise to deliver creative and culturally-responsive support for on-site science teaching and learning.

Science Ambassadors are matched with communities based on best fits between their areas of study and the teaching and learning needs in the schools. They are hosted in the community between the end of winter term at the university (mid-April) and the end of the elementary school year (early June).

These relatively long-term placements allow our Science Ambassadors to build meaningful friendships and learning relationships with students, teachers and community members in STEM classrooms, to participate in community life and culture, and to enjoy and learn from the natural environment.

Our 2014 Science Ambassadors represented five University Colleges and included international students from China, Russia, South Africa, Scotland, India and Bangladesh.

In 2014:

16 Science Ambassadors

worked with 143 teachers and educational assistants

reaching 1860 students

91% of whom are First Nations or Métis

(as reported by school administrators)

What Teachers are saying about our Science Ambassadors: “You guys are awesome. You guys

represent change, motivation, inspiration to our students.

Encouraging students to take science subjects has not been easy, but this is

another way to doing it, and the connection was phenomenal.”

Senior Science teacher, Wollaston Lake

“They absolutely connected, they were always patient and kind, and sharing their personal experiences with science and with life was the greatest benefit for my students.” Grades 7-9 teacher, Stony Rapids

“The Science Ambassadors, who are still in school, are providing our students

with a great perspective on science and education. The SAs have worked over and above what was expected. It has

been a GREAT experience.” Grade 5 teacher, Pinehouse Lake

Our optional student survey asked youth: How much did you enjoy having Science

Ambassadors in your community? (0-not at all, 5-it was great!) Average of 270 responses…

“They worked well with my class, which can be very difficult to keep entertained.

They spoke with them like equals and gave them interesting projects and praised them

for their good work. It was invaluable.” - Grade 6/7 teacher, Pinehouse Lake

“The students were very enthusiastic and looked forward to each visit. The students gained insight to a variety of

science activities that were provided by someone other than me and they and I had a lot of fun! They went above and

beyond and became very good friends.” Senior Science, Black Lake

“They were very helpful, and my students became more interested in science, wanting to do more hands

on experiments.” Grade 4 teacher, The Pas

“Learning from knowledgeable and capable learners who had a genuine interest in

science was so valuable for our students, and for me. The Ambassadors were part of our

family and even attended class trips and after school events - Awesome job!” Grade 8/9 teacher, Green Lake

“The kids all seems to like them because they brought some neat and messy

things. The students were excited and motivated very well to try and answer questions the Science Ambassadors

asked, and to ask them back!” Grades 3/4 teacher, Beauval

Hosted in culturally-vibrant communities, Science Ambassadors engage in rich experiential learning—they return to the University with fresh perspectives and new appreciation for Aboriginal community and culture.

Two-way Learning - Kiskiaumatowin

Our Science Ambassadors value the opportunity to learn about Aboriginal ways of living and knowing and to ‘make a difference’ by sharing the knowledge they have gained through their studies. They reflect on their own educational choices, and the social role of STEM professionals:

“This is a great program for U of S students. Not many people get to go this far North and experience the Dene culture so the more students that do can only gain a positive education by doing so. The people that live in our North deserve respect and as I continue to study and work the Science Ambassador experience will help me to always remember this.”

– Victoria Millette, Wollaston Lake

“This experience has reminded me that science is discovery. Seeing the excitement and joy in the eyes of the kids here has renewed my love for the field - I feel excited to go back to University to learn more about science. This program has given me invaluable knowledge and experience.” – Ashlynn Harms, Wollaston Lake

“Elders came in and had a discussion with the kids. Then we had them go outside and take pictures that were relevant to the discussion about what is Science in Western and Dene culture – they taught us so much!” – Ranjan Datta, Fond du Lac

At Black Lake Culture Days students from Father Porte School

introduced their ambassadors to beadwork, hide

scraping, and Dene games

Feedback from Community Educators: “The girls were really in the community. They joined in, showing positivity and excitement for everything and it was a great benefit for everyone to see. Perhaps more time next year, with the two schools we have.” - Ed Banoanie, Wollaston Lake “I would love for them to stay another week so they could attend our Annual Elder’s gathering with our students. The past (and present) ambassadors make great connections and we would love to include them.” – Acting Principal, Pinehouse Lake “We would like to see even more community involvement – and maybe a real community science project – such as a windmill or solar panel. Something that students could examine or create, and share with the community.” - Grade 8 teacher, Green Lake

Indicators of Success: Momentum Every participating community has requested to host the program again, and 2 new communities have been engaged to join for spring 2015

Changing Attitudes Teachers report that interacting with Science Ambassadors is a motivating factor for students, sparking interest and ambitions for continuing education

Expectations Surveys and follow-up interviews indicate anecdotal correlation between hosting SAs in successive years and teachers’ and parents’ ambitions for project-based learning

Patterns of STEM Engagement High school administrators in The Pas report a 40% increase in high school science enrollment since 2007, have had to restrict registration in an after-school science club at one school, and teachers in ALL communities report improved springtime attendance during SA placements

Every Science Ambassador responded that - ‘YES’ - they recommend the program to other U of S students

“Meeting new peoples and learning about another culture that one of the ambassadors incorporated from her home was excellent! They volunteered for fundraising events, donated baked goods to our bake sale, and were extremely friendly and kind” – Grade 4, Stony Rapids

During a lesson on human body systems, which from a Western perspective are a closed, biological system, a Grade 9 student in Fond du Lac shared “But, we are not human, we are First Nation. We are everything.”

“This is when I began to understand this First Nations idea about interdependence,” says Science Ambassador Ranjan Datta, SENS Doctoral Student

Celebrating the 2014 Science Ambassador Program August 20th we held our annual Science Ambassador Celebration at the Diefenbaker Canada Centre to share this year’s program with the University community and our sponsors.

Six Science Ambassadors made presentations about their experiences and the impact of the program on their growth and development as STEM professionals. An overview of the program scope and feedback received from school administrators, community educators and, most importantly, youth, was provided by program coordinator Dr. Sandy Bonny, along new insights and goals for next year.

Our guests included the Honourable Senator Dr. Lillian Dyck, who spoke about the absolute importance of increasing Aboriginal student participation in continuing education; and of the importance of teachers and mentors – like our Science Ambassadors – to igniting that crucial curiosity in students, and helping them toward their dreams.

Minister of Education, the Honourable Don Morgan, also spoke, bringing greetings from the Province of Saskatchewan and encouragement to our program. He emphasized the importance of equalizing educational opportunities for all Saskatchewan youth, regardless of how remote the community where they live.

We were honoured to have leadership from diverse University Colleges in attendance, as well as Saskatoon MLA Mr. Rob Norris; pioneering Cross-cultural science educator Dr. Glen Aikenhead; and past Cameco NSERC Prairie Women in Science and Engineering Chair, and Science Ambassador Program Founder, Dr. Julita Vassileva.

Following the afternoon event our Science Ambassadors received Certificates of Appreciation from the College of Arts & Science. We were joined by Athabasca MLA Mr. Buckley Belanger who is excited to see University initiatives supporting home-grown STEM capacity in Saskatchewan’s Aboriginal communities. He shared a perspective that Saskatchewan’s North and Northern people have a lot to offer the South, and a lot to teach our faculty and students here at the University of Saskatchewan – We couldn’t agree more!

“Our Brown Baby Boom presents an opportunity to change dramatically the overall well-being of Aboriginal communities by ensuring that Aboriginal youth, who constitute the majority of the population, get a ‘good’ education, one that respects who they are.”

Science Buddies!

At the St. Science Fair, Grade 8 & 9 students shared exciting science

experiments with younger grades. They also put together detailed records of their research and experimental process, taking pride in excellent science reports. Students in Grades 6 & 7 selected hands-on science activities to share as ‘Science Buddies’ with

younger grades. Everyone enjoyed learning together, their Kindergarten

teacher reports: “I loved that my students got to watch the older students’

demonstrations–something exciting to look forward to!”

Science, you light up my life!

Students at Minahik Waskahigan Elementary & High Schools explored chemoluminescence with paints and black light.

Science Ambassadors Jacinda and Ashley explained:“We let them create and the kids were in their natural environment. With just a few reminders to stay on task, each grade level

made their own ‘Ah-ha!’ moments about chemical mixtures and the nature of light. We allowed them to draw whatever they

liked and one young girl wrote: – I Love Science, love, love, love!”

If you are interested in learning more about The Science Ambassador Program, or would like to participate as a program sponsor, host community, or Science Ambassador, use the

contact information on the next page to explore possibilities for next spring’s program…

We’re Excited!

The Science Ambassador Program has grown five fold since 2007, while maintaining a high standard for meeting STEM teaching and learning needs ‘One Community at a Time!’ Demand is high and we anticipate continued enthusiasm from students and schools.

Our Science Ambassadors provide a valuable resource to teachers working in remote communities, bringing strong science backgrounds, practical hands-on support, and youthful enthusiasm for inquiry-based and cross-cultural learning.

It is our hope that the Science Ambassador Program will continue to support Aboriginal student success with Provincial Science Curricula in the short term. In the long term, as Science Ambassadors, science students, community schools, and the University of Saskatchewan continue learning together, we are truly looking forward to increased representation of Aboriginal peoples and perspectives among our provinces’ future scientists, agriculturalists, engineers, and health professionals. The Science Ambassador Program plans to return to all of the communities that participated in 2014, and we are building capacity with the support of our sponsors to offer Science Ambassador opportunities to new schools that share our vision of supporting Saskatchewan’s youth through creative and culturally-relevant STEM learning!
