Ask Me Anything Virtual Guest Speaker Series
Are you interested in having a scientist or mathematician visit your class and tell your students all about the projects and research they are working on? VIU professors and student researchers in our Faculty of Science and Technology are excited to share their knowledge, experience and passions with your students via virtual classroom visits. Parents homeschooling their children may also be able to take advantage of this exciting new series. This free service comes with only one catch – be sure to bring some questions for our speaker to answer!
