The ultimate outcome of the Agricultural-based Growth and Resilience Opportunities for Women (AGROW) project is to enhance the socio-economic resilience of women and girls through animal, human and environmental health in three districts of Battambang province in Cambodia. AGROW will contribute to poverty reduction through addressing Canada’s thematic priorities on food security and sustainable economic growth. The project focuses on women and girls and their associated groups and improves nutrition; promotes dietary diversification; creates more opportunities for food production; promotes land and environmental stewardship; increases production, value-addition and access to markets. These all contribute to addressing multiple dimensions of poverty through improving the well being of women and girls by providing nutritional and diverse sources of food but also increasing opportunities for livelihoods and income related to agriculture and livestock production. AGROW will apply innovative approaches to climate-smart food production and diversification including: cricket farming, chicken farming, cattle farming, grass/fodder crops and vegetable production that will provide specific advantages for women. It will directly support 4,260 household beneficiaries (70% F),and 20,022 (60% F) household members. It will indirectly benefit 48,429 (60% F) in the 3 districts in 12 communes and 48 villages. The project will also support 48 Village Animal Health Workers and 48 producer groups (1 per village) and 144 leaders (48 women).

“Moon Mission: Lunar Rover Planning and Piloting Experience” is a competition-based national project that will challenge students in grades 6 to 9 to design a lunar rover research mission and then to command a simulated rover expedition challenge. The initiative will include a Mission Goals challenge and a Rover Control challenge. To support participating teams as they write their research proposals and prepare for the competition, the project will develop and update a collection of online lessons and engaging activities that encourage students to understand the goals of both the Lunar Gateway and Lunar Surface Exploration.

“Classroom SpaceFarers: Lunar Gateway AI + Robotics” is a three-year undertaking that will involve Canadian youth (grades 6 to 9) and their educators in three activities: Code in the Stars campaign that will engage educators (virtually through a campaign, and directly through educator training events/professional development); a Lunar Gateway Pitch that will directly target students through a national pitch experience; and the Classroom SpaceFarers: an AI-Enabled Robotics Residencies, a deep impact, multi-day experience in ten sites. The three phases build upon each other, with deeper engagement and impact on the participants at each phase.
