“Students' interest in science starts early and quickly turns into passion when curiosity is stimulated,” explains Normand Brodeur, coordinator of educational services. Whether they are in elementary or secondary school, students are naturally inclined to ask questions about the understanding of various phenomena that surround them. Why is it dark at night? How does the solar system work? Why does my cell phone no longer work in the woods? We must start from these questions that children ask to engage them in a rigorous scientific process. "
