The Cowan Foundation continues to support Perimeter initiatives locally and across Canada as an Educational Outreach Champion. Available in both English and French, each free, digitally downloadable classroom resource explores a different aspect of the universe, using lesson plans, hands-on activities and demonstrations, modifiable worksheets, and videos. Every resource can be modified by teachers to suit their students’ needs. Plus, the lessons can be put into practice using inexpensive items – an effort to level the playing field so that all students have the same access to engaging science.
The impact has been enormous: Perimeter has facilitated more than 10 million student interactions through educational programs and resources, with approximately half of those being Canadian students. The Cowan Foundation helps us make science accessible to all, and we thank them for their continued generosity.
