On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming @laurentienneshadlaurentian students to M-CROSH. They engaged in a presentation on heat stress, wearable technology, and grip strength. SHAD, a month-long enrichment program for STEAM students in grades 11 & 12, provides valuable learning experiences. We are thrilled to educate these bright minds on essential health and safety concepts. #SHAD #LaurentianUniversity #STEAM #HeatStress #WearableTechnology #HealthAndSafety #StudentEnrichment ...
