Canadian North is Supporting Actua Instructors who are Bringing Transformational STEM Experiences to Northern Youth
Actua, Canada’s leading science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) youth outreach organization, hires outreach instructors every year to deliver hands-on STEM learning experiences to youth in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. This “for youth by youth” model helps build self-confidence by connecting program participants with relatable role models who create safe and inclusive spaces to explore STEM.
Programs are also designed in partnership with representatives from local communities, such as Indigenous Elders, to reflect each community’s unique Traditional Knowledge and cultural perspectives.
Support from Canadian North enables Actua’s instructors to travel to northern communities and inspire youth through STEM learning. That’s impactful work we can really get behind!
