The Ulnooweg Education Centre provides quality foundational programs for Indigenous Youth in the community to address the digital divide faced by Indigenous Communities. To support youth and access to tools and equipment in the digital space, we’ve created 13 Community Makerspaces within each First Nation community across Nova Scotia. These spaces are dedicated for youth and their community to provide access to the latest technology and educational tools for continued opportunities in STEM learning.
Makerspaces
Featured items in this space range from robotics, circuitry, 3D printing, arts, and videography. This allows students, teachers, and community members to access equipment for self-guided projects and programs. We will be assessing the needs of these spaces and take a community-first approach to better serve communities at an individual level as each community is unique in itself.
This initiative continues to grow as Ulnooweg Education Centre expands to new regions across Atlantic Canada. As we continue to create and establish more makerspaces in communities, we’re looking at alternative solutions to solve problems for access to programs for urban communities and beyond. Check in with us regularly to learn more about the upcoming community Makerspaces!
