Grants and Contributions

“Space STEM Activities for Lunar Robotics and AI” will aim to deliver interactive experiences to youth (grades 6 to 12 - Cégep 1 in Québec) across all Canadian provinces and territories through multiple streams: in-class workshops and activities, virtual presentations, and educational and interactive website, teacher training workshops, camp programs, and an adaptation of the Mission Control Academy. These hands-on learning experiences will educate youth on the use of AI-enabled robotics such as machine learning, career options in AI, and the development of robotic arm missions.

This will be accomplished in the following ways:
• Through partnership and joint management of distinctions based investments that will enhance and expand Indigenous ELCC, and support the transfer of ELCC to Indigenous organizations;
• Strengthening foundational supports for Indigenous ELCC through, for example, Indigenous led quality improvement projects; and
• Adapting and improving existing federal programs to be more flexible, adaptable and horizontal across federal departments as a first step prior to transferring control, so that programs cohesively support the goals of the Framework including supporting self determination.

The Outbound Student Mobility Pilot enables Canadian college and undergraduate university students to acquire in-demand skills through study or work abroad opportunities.

The Outbound Student Mobility Pilot enables Canadian college and undergraduate university students to acquire in-demand skills through study or work abroad opportunities.

This will be accomplished through the creation of a regionally focused, educational exhibit that will showcase the economic and historic importance of the Intermodal Port of Johnstown. Tourists will learn about the journey of crops from farms to storage, distribution and transport.

Support experiential learning in francophone schools

The Centre will be a multi-purpose space for CFN members and visitors to learn about Caldwell First Nation’s cultural practices including culture and history, land based learning, and Indigenous land stewardship encompassing traditional hunting and fishing practices and ecological restoration.

This contribution enables Colour the Trails to host up to ten different events (intro clinics, learn-to events, workshops, tours, etc.) for BIPOC communities in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.

“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.
