Scott holds both a B.Sc. in Biology and Engineering, and a B.Ed from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. As a 14-year veteran of science education at the middle and high school levels, he has a keen interest in helping students realize the real world relevance and significance of all the 'stuff' they learn in school. Whether taking students out into the field to apply what they have learned, or helping students connect with experts beyond the walls of the school, Scott's main pedagogical interest is in creating inquiry-based learning experiences that mimic, as much as possible, what real scientists and engineers do in real life.
