摘要: Abstract The focus of this paper is an examination mentorship relationships developed as a result six students’ participation in local community science centre sponsored through NSERC/CRYSTAL project. Each year, number students participate after‐school activities by the centre. Much work involves one‐to‐one approach, with middle years or high school student working professor partner. acts mentor to student, facilitating learning manner not always feasible within setting large class sizes.
