    Honouring the lost children, survivors, their families and communities of residential schools, and taking time to listen, reflect, and learn about the ongoing intergenerational impacts. As we walk with Indigenous communities in healing and reconciliation, we highlight the resources that many of our university and community partners are sharing to center Indigenous voices today.

    ShadAnywhere offers students hands-on STEAM experiences while boosting their digital preparedness. Last year over 200 students joined our four campuses and received Shad Kits filled with activities, merch and interactive tools – including a Texas Instruments coding calculator -- all for keeps! Practice your digital literacy, meet students from across the country and learn from industry leaders such as Noble Prize winners, NASA astronauts or Canada’s Surgeon General. 🙌
