Daniel Saucier, a doctoral student in the Université de Sherbrooke’s health sciences research program, was invited to share his experience with Let’s Talk Science at the organization’s 2023 national outreach conference held at Western University, Ontario, from June 1 to 4.

Daniel has been volunteering with Let’s Talk Science since the program was set up at the Université de Moncton in 2016, and has been site coordinator since 2020. Since the beginning of his mandate as coordinator, the Université de Moncton outreach site has experienced phenomenal growth: in less than a year, nearly 10,000 young people have benefited from workshops focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and aimed at developing critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills.

“I see how an outreach program like Let’s Talk Science inspires young people to develop a scientific mindset. This would not be possible without the support of my fellow coordinators and the many volunteers eager to share their passion for STEM.”
