For 5 weeks, youth conducted fieldwork at Gault with Â鶹AV students, explored how scientific research happens in nature and made links to their own lives and future careers.  </p> Mon, 02 Dec 2024 18:57:30 +0000 megan.phillips@mcgill.ca 990499 at /science /science/channels/event/cancelled-planets-particles-exploration-mini-fair-24-hours-science-mcgill-356883 <p>**This event has been cancelled.
