Grade 11 students from secondary schools in Hamilton-Wentworth, Halton, and Niagara districts have chosen activities offered by departments in Science. Approximately 120 participants are attending activities this morning in: computer science, psychology, medical physics, biology, chemistry, physics and astronomy, mathematics and statistics, and geology and geography.

Following this morning's session, the students will meet for lunch with science faculty and student-volunteers in the McMaster University Student Centre.
