Praxis Information

*Praxis (noun): The process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, practised, embodied, or realized. Our motto is "Making Science Fun" click here for some fun links and videos and a large collection of useful STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) and education links are here. What is *Praxis? Praxis, The Science and Technology Hotline, is your link to the educational and scientific communities in South Eastern Alberta. The Praxis Society's vision is to provide positive science experiences and support to our area residents, especially youth, through facilitating or providing access to science and technology resources. We have numerous programs to connect not only classrooms but also the general public with science knowledge and activities. We author the Science Smart articles which are published every Saturday in the Medicine Hat News. These articles are short activities or experiments designed to use everyday items to reinforce or "discover" results related to various science topics. They are family oriented, that is they are designed to be accomplished by a child with the help of an adult. We provide free of charge for a two week loan, educational science kits, models and equipment based on the Alberta Science curriculum. We also have some kits that are based on the holiday season (Christmas etc.). We will help organize classroom field trips for teachers or through our SEiTC program (Scientist or Engineer in The Classroom) we'll try to find classroom subject area specialists to talk to a teacher's class about any topic in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics).

Who is *Praxis? The Praxis Society is a not-for-profit organization run by a volunteer board.
