Camp Artemis – Join the Moon Mission boot camp will inspire youth to become the next generation of explorers by increasing their interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The interactive activities of the boot camp will allow Indigenous students to see how a career in STEM can allow them to play a role in Canada’s space program. Saskatchewan Polytechnic will create a one-day STEM, and space science and technology boot camp for Indigenous Youth, ages 12 to 18. Each boot camp has been designed with input from Indigenous communities to inspire and engage Indigenous learners to pursue STEM and space-related studies and careers. The boot camp will also be offered through our Surge micro credential platform, with the student receiving a micro credential digital badge.

The Q-AISES Rocket Team is an engineering design team operating out of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. It is comprised of Indigenous student members of the Queen's chapter of AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society), which is a broader international organization that encourages and supports Indigenous engagement with study and careers in STEM fields. The Q-AISES team is the only Canadian team to be invited to participate in an annual high-powered rocket engineering design competition called First Nations Launch, which is run by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States as part of their Artemis Student Challenges program.

The main objective of this project is to increase awareness and interest in in space engineering and robotics to high school and university students. A rover competition will be organized targeting the groups of students from high-schools in Toronto area. Different teams of students will prepare for the event over a couple of months and they will compete with other teams on the day of the event. Materials and support for students and educators will be made available.
