UEC STEAM Workshops for Grades P - 12, and Summer Camps for Grades 9 - 12
Our presentation will briefly touch on the UEC's background but will mainly focus on two areas: 1. STEAM Workshops we develop and deliver in classrooms within communities, and 2. Summer Camps we offer to Indigenous youth. All our programs, whether workshops or camps, are developed from a two-eyed-seeing approach. All our workshops are hands-on. Each camp offers immersive learning experiences with a unique blend of traditional Indigenous knowledge and contemporary scientific methods in their programming. Each camp is designed to inspire, challenge, and prepare young minds for a future where they can thrive both personally and professionally.
