WHAT IS SCIENCE GAMES?
With a focus on collaboration, connection, discovery, and fun, students in British Columbia will have an
opportunity to participate in a 3-week science journey in July 2023! At Science Games, students from Grades 1-6
across BC explore science first-hand in an online group led by engineers and geoscientists.
This interactive event hosted online gives students the chance to investigate the ways science affects their
everyday lives. Diving deep into the world of innovation, participants will connect with other like-minded students
and work together online to create their own solutions during each Saturday activity session.

For those who are deaf or have hearing loss, making and enjoying music can be a challenge. However, that
hasn’t stopped Dame Evelyn Glennie from achieving success.
Scottish-born Dame Evelyn Glennie is one of the world’s most recognized percussionists(打击乐器乐手).
However, she started going deaf at the age of eight due to a nerve disease. At 12, she totally lost her hearing.
At first, Glennie was desperate. But her percussion teacher at school taught her to feel particular notes. For
example, she had to place her hands on a wall, and he would play two notes on two timpani. He would then ask her
which was the higher note and where she felt the vibration(振动). Through trials and errors, she managed to
distinguish the pitch(音调) of notes by associating where on her body she feels the sound. Thanks to her perfect pitch
and the fact that she performs barefoot, Evelyn “hears” the sound. Together with her lip-reading skills, and amazing
musicianship, she has conquered every trouble and inconvenience caused by her impairment.
Till now, Glennie has performed with almost all the major orchestras(管弦乐队) globally. Besides classical
music, she is famous for partnerships with pop and rock artists like Sting and Bjork. Glennie’s works have earned
her over 100 music awards, including two Grammys. She even led 1,000 drummers in the opening ceremony of the
London 2012 Olympic Games.
At the age of 58 this year, Glennie’s mission now is to “teach the world to listen”, to improve communication
by encouraging everyone to discover a new way of listening. “It’s important to grab on to any opportunity that comes
your way, but you also need to create your own opportunities,” says Evelyn. “It’s a personal time to reflect on the
impact you might have on other people as well. I don’t know if age plays a part in it, because I feel as though I haven’t
really achieved very much and there’s still so much to do!”
