An activity that asks readers to read an ocean and marine life infographic and look closely at the pictures to then see if they can correctly identify and name the animals and devices.

A young turtle and his Grampa take readers on a sea adventure to learn how ocean plastic is hurting sea animals, but also showcases how humans are trying to reduce plastic use and clean up the ocean in various ways.

In this lesson, students will learn about nattiit (ringed seals) from both biology and an Inuit perspective.

In this lesson, students will expand on their learning from lesson one (Introduction to Nattiit, Ringed Seal)  and build their understanding for how the nattiit are being impacted by climate change and human activity.

This comic features an alien named Smidge who explains the discovery of the planet Sedna and the Oort Cloud.

In this lesson, students come to understand the solar system in which they live. They will learn what makes a planet habitable and why most planets are inhabitable.

Students will be “over the moon” for this lesson, as they will be asked to observe the moon over a period of two months, document their observations, and learn the phases of the moon together as a class.

AI is no longer relegated to the realm of futuristic cartoons or sci-fi blockbusters; it has quickly integrated into many aspects of our communities and homes. In their day-to-day lives, humans encounter various forms of AI all the time.

Learn more about artificial intelligence while having fun.

In this lesson, students learn how a computer can be taught to categorize objects. This is something students already have experience with.

When artificial intelligence (AI) advances to a certain level, it may be possible to have conversations with machines that feel like speaking to a human. This exercise tests the current state of AI to see whether we can be fooled.

The Inuktitut Digital Literacy Game Engine hosts three games (when launched but educators can add more game iterations they create), designed in partnership with Ilitaqsiniq Nunavut Literacy Council.

Cole Pauls explores the importance of Indigenous representation in video games through a personal story he wrote and illustrated.

Serious games are games whose primary purpose is education and training as opposed to entertainment. They take advantage of the ability of computer games to attract and engage players/learners for a specific purpose, such as to develop new knowledge or skills.
