What is CurioCity?

CurioCity is the online magazine run by Let’s Talk Science, an award-winning national charitable organization that I started volunteering for in 2013.

CurioCity is designed for use in the classroom, and contains all kind of great content created by Canadian scientists and post-secondary volunteers.  The audience is generally students in grades 7-12.  There are also videos, student projects, research and career profiles on the site.  If you are a teacher, definitely take a look at this excellent and FREE classroom resource!

If you would like to contribute content to the site, you can volunteer to write an article, a research profile, or a career profile!  Visit their volunteer page here!
