Soil is an essential source of life and nutrients for many living things!

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 for the total solar eclipse!

Get excited to view the total solar eclipse!

Is it a meteorite? Learn about types of meteorites and how you can identify them!

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).

In this workshop, youth will consider the effects of climate change on oil infrastructure on a fictional island and reflect on the long-term changes to the island’s oil policies that are needed for sustainability by adopting multiple stakeholder perspectives.

Participants learn how to identify animals that may live in their environment using “signs”. Then, they will learn how photogrammetry can be used to scan and make digital models out of animal tracks found in nature so that they can be 3D printed.

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 develop computational thinking skills and global competencies as they collaboratively work together to design and build a structure that will protect the last Truffula seed (from the story ‘The Lorax’).

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.
