Innovating Indigenous Learning |
|
iSTEAM explores our educational concept of incorporating Indigenous arts, culture, land and stories with hands-on projects, using emerging technology and traditional hand tools, to create relevant, and compelling artistic experiences to inspire digital connectivity, skill development and individual ability to apply new skills to unfamiliar challenges. Each iSTEAM project is interactive, and relevant to students, and directly connected to the Ontario curriculum learning goals for grades K-12.
iSTEAM is offered virtually at this time, with material and supply kits provided for each project. Contact us for an opportunity to work together on developing content specific to the needs of your school group for an awesome iSTEAM experience today! |

This dynamic educational program began as a research and participatory design project between STEAM Education Centre and Antler River Elementary School, Chippewas of the Thames First Nation. In 2020, the STEAM Education team began working closely with Antler River Elementary School teachers to develop hands-on workshops to be delivered virtually or through workshop kits to go home with each student.

iSTEAM was made possible with the visionary support of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority and Ontario Trillium Foundation.
