What is Science Literacy Week?
Science Literacy Week (SciLit Week)showcases the many ways kids and families explore and enjoy the diversity of Canadian science. This year, Science Literacy Week partnered with Environment and Climate Change Canada and organizations from across Canada to explore all things climate-related. In the spirit of SciLit Week, the Science Communication Club collaborated with the U of T Gerstein Science Information Centre to create six graphics depicting climate change in Canada.
