Students arenโ€™t the only ones getting the classic โ€œfirst dayโ€ photos today!

To celebrate the start of a brand-new school year, we thought weโ€™d introduce (or re-introduce!) the people behind Science East. From favourite science topics to what weโ€™re most excited about this year, meet the team that makes the experiments, workshops, field trips, and wonderfully messy science happen.

Weโ€™re pretty excited for another year of sparking curiosity, asking big questions, trying new things, and bringing hands-on science to students and communities across New Brunswick.

Wishing all the students, teachers, school staff, and families heading back today an amazing first day and a fantastic school year ahead!

Now itโ€™s our turn for first-day photosโ€ฆ Swipe through to meet the Science East team. ๐Ÿ”ฌ

And a big shout out to our friends at the Discovery Centre for inspiring this post! Go check their out as well!
