Laura & Sara T. at the Teacher's Convention |
Calgary Current members took time out of their days-off to come down to the Telus Convention Centre and speak to teachers about the Caring For our Watershed contest and the implementation of last years' second place proposal "Youth Teaching Youth Classroom Presentations."
In the two short hours that Calgary Current spent at the Teacher's Convention, we talked with over 60 teachers from around Calgary. We told teachers from all grades and subject areas about the free classroom presentations developed by youth (Calgary Current), for youth (young Calgarians at large) on topics like watershed stewardship, the importance of wetlands, local biodiversity, and simple conservation strategies. Needless to say, the teachers that we spoke with were impressed!
A big thanks to the City of Calgary for sharing their booth space with us. And well done Calgary Current members for such great representation!
