Interdisciplinary Health science

In teams, students interact, share information on their profession, and create cases where each discipline is needed

Interdisciplinary Humanities

Environmental science

In this activity, students learn to define sustainability and apply this to a single Montreal neighbourhood.

STEM Chemistry

In this activity, students are presented with the concepts of nomenclature in organic chemistry to encourage self learning.

STEM Engineering

This activity's goal is to familiarize students with the peer review process and teach them how to accept peer criticism.

STEM Chemistry

Using cards in a "Chemicard' deck, students determine which ionic compounds are most likely to form.
