Experiential Learning Through the Eyes of Students

In this episode of Backroads Bill, we hear directly from the students taking part in the Canadian Ecology Centre's immersive summer science program. They share what it's like to step away from technology, live and learn in nature, and earn a high school credit through hands-on experiences.

From exploring ecosystems and conducting fieldwork to learning from industry professionals, the students explain how this unique approach to education has changed the way they think about science, school, and their future.
