ONGOING LIST
Looking for new things to do with your child? Do
you think your child would enjoy participating in science? If your child is
between the ages of 3-7, they are eligible to sign-up for an online study with
researchers at the University of Waterloo. Participation is free and the
studies are quite fun for children! Children get a certificate at the end and a
chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. A typical session involves a 25-minute
Zoom video call with their researchers. If you would like to sign-up, please
visit https://www.uwcoral.ca/sign-up. If you have
