The 2nd Annual ARTIE (Advanced Research Technology & Innovation Expo) is a free, fun and educational event hosted by the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre (SSMIC) in partnership with AlgomaUniversity’s Invasive Species Research Institute (ISRI). ARTIE takes place on October 15-16, 2009 at Algoma University's George Leach Centre and will be open to the public on the evening of October 15th from 5pm-9pm.
At ARTIE, the focus is on exploring science and technology in a fun and engaging manner. There will be local science and technology professionals on hand to present and answer questions. Some exhibits will be interactive with hands-on activities. This year elementary schools and high schools will be invited to attend special ARTIE sessions on October 15 and 16 respectively. While elementary school students will participate with the exhibits, high school students will explore the rising video gaming industry and attend a key note speaker session in the afternoon.
ARTIE is developed to fit into the local curriculum and act as another resource for teachers to engage their students in these topics. Teachers will be sent back to the classroom with kits to help continue the discussion of what students have learned.
