Climate change is taking place all around us, but how do we see and measure it?

Ocean ecosystems are dynamic and important for human livelihoods, thus need to be carefully managed.

In this food web activity designed for grades 4-6, participants utilize images of different animals to determine their relationships within an ecosystem, identify predator-prey connections and construct a comprehensive food web.

Get excited to view the total solar eclipse!

Acting as a “graphic designer” for a new, 2D video game, learners create icons or characters through pixel art. By designing the same icon or character in two different sizes, learners ensure the “game” can be played on phones (simplified images for smaller screens) and/or desktop computers (larger images for bigger screens).

Students will learn about some of the basic techniques of mapping ecological data and the roles of citizen scientists in ecological conservation.

Learners create a Micro:bit step counter using Make Code.

Learners enhance their understanding of encryption and decryption to protect personal information and develop critical thinking skills by using different encryption tools to create and send coded messages.

Learners explore some foundational computer programming concepts and develop computational thinks skills by participating in three weeks of hands-on coding activities, via Scratch, for one-hour sessions, where each session builds off the previous session.

Learners build off the skills they developed in the (Scratch) Coding Club, developed by McGill University, and further expand some foundational computer programming concepts and further develop computational thinking skills.

How can we tell what is cancer fact versus fiction? Learn how to critically evaluate online sources for credible information on cancer research topics while understanding the importance of research translation across the internet.

Welcome to the science behind computer communication! Learners will explore the basics of binary, learn how to count in binary and how binary is used to encode different kinds of information in computers, through a variety of activities.

Learners develop decomposition skills and learn about sequences and repetition by using Scratch to code a drumming sequence.

Learners will use their knowledge of AI to ponder and form questions about the future of AI in the workplace and what role citizens could play in its development for daily use.
