NSMTC’s Summer STEM and Species at Risk Camps are underway! ☀️🔬🐾
Throughout the summer, NSMTC’s Energy Services and Anqotum teams are collaborating to teach youth in our communities about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through hands-on activities.
Some of the questions we are exploring this year include:
💡 What is renewable energy?
🚗 How do hydrogen fuel-cell cars work?
📜 What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)?
🐢 What species are culturally important to Mi’kmaq?
🌿How can we protect our maqamikew (land), samqwan (water), and wisisk (animals)?
Camps have been hosted so far in Metepenagiag and Natoaganeg, and we will be bringing STEM camps to all seven of our Member Nation communities by the end of the summer.
Wela’lieg to our partners and sponsors, Science East, GEMTEC, Candu Energy, Bird Construction, and Pomerleau, and the Government of Canada’s Aboriginal Fund for Species At Risk for supporting this year’s camps. A special shout-out to Nukumi House for hosting us, and to Science East and GEMTEC for joining us at a recent camp to share their knowledge with campers!
