Welcome
About us
The Atlantic Science Links Association (ASLA) is a charitable science
promotion organization which coordinates outreach programs for
students in grades primary to twelve. ASLA's mission is to bridge the
gap between the scientific community, schools and the public by:
• Facilitating visits and activities by volunteer scientists, engineers and
technologists to schools and public venues
• 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
• Providing an appropriate referral service for teachers and the public to
interested scientists, engineers and technologists
“All our services are free of charge”
Scientists and Innovators in
the Schools (SITS)
Scientists and Innovators in the Schools
(SITS) is a predominantly volunteer-driven
educational program with a mandate 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.
Teachers have been making use of the
resources provided by SITS since 1989.
What began as a small group of scientists
fielding requests for presentations from the
public and schools has grown into an
organization that reaches hundreds of
schools and thousands of students every
year.
“ Bringing presenters into the
school is a wonderful addition
to the curriculum. We need to
do this more often! “
