We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Arduino Maker Week

In-person delivery
Ages 14 to 17 (high school grades)
Co-ed

NEW CAMP!

Arduino is a powerful yet accessible design tool which combines principles of programming and electronics, and can be used as the brains behind a multitude of modern engineering projects. In this program, participants will be introduced to the Arduino as a tool, and tasked to use it to complete design challenges - learning the necessary skills along the way! We will make use of other common prototyping tools, including sensors, breadboards and more!

Activity example: Smart Home Devices - Participants will create a simple smart device using an Arduino as a brain. These devices will be pitched against each other in a “Shark Tank” style competition.

Features:

interactive learning approach
simplification of complex topics
problem solving and design-based thinking
hands-on activities and/or experiment
connecting topics to society
counsellors demonstrate excellence in engineering and science, strong leadership skills, past experience working with youth, and enthusiasm towards education
