Welcome to Headquarters!

Think of the Headquarters as a center of operations, a gathering place, a space for the command and control of both humans and non-humans. From your specially created HQ, you have lots of key information and resources made available to you on a single webpage. As one of his GRADE 6 science students, Dr. Merritt suspects you will spend plenty of time this year making good use of your grade’s HQ.

"Science: it’s like magic, but real!"
