ATLANTIC SCIENCE LINKS ASSOCIATION
The Atlantic Science Links Association (ASLA) is a charitable science promotion organization which coordinates science outreach programs for students in grades primary to twelve. The mandate of ASLA is to create sustainable relationships between our science and education communities in order to provide Nova Scotia's young people with experiences and opportunities to explore the sciences. We hope to inspire them as they are developing key attitudes toward science and technology, and are beginning to think about careers in these fields. This mandate is accomplished through the following activities:
We have recognized that while guest presenters can bring a high level of expertise, enthusiasm, and real world experience into the classroom, teachers often have little or no time to seek them out and set up activities. Through ASLA's main outreach initiative, Scientists and Innovators in the Schools (SITS), scientists from the academic, industry, government, and non-profit sectors volunteer their time and expertise to share their enthusiasm about science and technology with students in Nova Scotia.
- facilitating classroom presentations, demonstrations and field trips by volunteer scientists, engineers and technologists
- assisting schools in recruiting judges for science fairs and mentors for science projects
- delivering workshops and in-service events for teachers
- providing supporting advice, information and materials to teachers and to volunteering visitors that will enable them to effectively promote science and technology awareness and interest
