Kamloops students take part in a unique science camp hosted at TRU
KAMLOOPS — For around a dozen young people, the last week has been spent in one of the labs at Thompson Rivers University. There, they’ve been taking part in Geneskool, unravelling a mystery around a contaminated lab.
“Basically, this doctor had an infection, as we think that there’s been an outbreak in the lab,” William McArthur explains, “so we’ve basically been doing different things to try to figure it out.”
The infection is part of a narrative that Geneskool Director of Summer Science Camps Samantha Smith put together, as a way to help engage students in learning the skills they’ve been practicing throughout the week.
