Building Connections: STEM Activities Rooted in Community and Culture

How can we enhance Indigenous students' engagement with STEM in meaningful ways? In this session, participants will discover how Actua and Worlds UNBound at the University of New Brunswick reaches Indigenous youth on a local and national level in different communities. We will explore tools and resources to enhance students’ experiential learning in STEM, as well as the infusion of digital skills and coding within and outside of STEM learning context, offering examples of classroom activities that can be easily incorporated using readily accessible materials.
