MiddleStudents will gain an introduction to the basic functions of Scratch through the creation of a game. Students will learn about sprites, costumes, and the use of sounds. This game is a great way to incorporate throat singing into the curriculum, as students will create sprites that throat sing with different sounds.
Grade 5 - Grade 7Students will gain an introduction to the basic functions of Scratch through the creation of an interactive target game inspired by the Cree people’s traditional goose hunt. In this project, students will learn about sprites, costumes, backdrops, and animations.
Grade 3 - Grade 6This activity will use images from the story book “Trip to the Moon” written by Vera Evic, an author from Pangnirtung, Nunavut. Students will animate the images and create a scene from the book where kids use an oil drum rocket to travel to the moon.
Primary - MiddleIn this resource, we present three culturally relevant lessons tailored to Nunavut culture and way of life, designed to introduce students to the foundational concepts of Scratch programming.

Grade 4 - Grade 6Students learn about natural language processing (NLP) and how it works. They also learn to apply the rules of NLP to a text, how computers identify tag words, and how voice-generated technology impacts many aspects of daily life.
Grade 7 - Grade 8Students learn how computers can process and categorize images. They program and train a computer to recognize certain images and teach it to play Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Can you Hack it?
Grade 9Students explore deepfakes and create a fake voices app using the MIT App Inventor. Learners also explore how deepfakes can pose a threat to online safety and privacy, and how they can have an impact on not only our daily lives but also other areas like commerce, history, crime, and pop culture.
Navigating the internet can feel tricky sometimes, much like a game of Snakes and Ladders. But in this version of the classic game, there’s a twist. The objective is to be the first to reach the 100th square but some squares have snakes and some squares have ladders. Check out Challenge Mode to challenge yourself further.
Grade 4 - Grade 6Students explore aspects of AI and develop their own simple AI programs. Then, they connect their newfound knowledge to real-world examples.
Middle - SecondaryThis three-episode series designed for Grade 9-12 students highlights the advantages of technology while introducing potential dangers of the online world and how to avoid them. Each episode focuses on one popular aspect of the digital world: artificial intelligence, social media, and online learning.
Grade 1 - Grade 3The premise of this experiment is that wind around us can be harnessed, and used for many purposes. It’s a first step to understanding the concepts of renewable energy as well as the historical uses of wind power, and is a starting point to help learners grasp the potential of renewable energy sources.
Middle - SecondaryThe premise of this experiment is that you can use the sun to “cook” things. It’s a first step to understanding the concepts of renewable energy, and how the sun’s heat can be harnessed as a tool to help us achieve our goals, without using nonrenewable energy sources.
Middle - SecondaryIn Rover Fleet Luna you will be an autonomous rover that has awakened alone on the moons surface. You will need to gather supplies and navigate a vast map in order to survive your abandonment on the Moon.

Primary - MiddleThis activity asks readers to embark on an adventure and meet four different animals along the way. The reader must locate and write down a noun, verb, and adjective for each animal they see as part of their journey’s research.
Primary - Grade 3In this lesson, students learn coding basics by building a rudimentary understanding of command codes, sequences, and loops.
Grade 4 - Grade 6In this lesson, students respond to writing prompts that require them to think about other/diverse perspectives via RAFT-style storytelling:
Grade 7 - Grade 8In this lesson, students read a scientific journal paper, examine charts and graphs, and try to decipher data from them. Students extract useful information from the texts and put meaning to the graphs and numbers.
Secondary - Grade 12This lesson merges the worlds of artificial intelligence (AI) and poetry. Students read a poem and decipher it to analyze tone, emotions, and symbolism.
How can research into ringed seals and environmental changes provide a better understanding of climate change? Enooyaq Sudlovenick, currently a Ph.D. student, explores research focused on marine mammals and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. In this episode, Enooyaq discusses her research of the ringed seal and how she considers both Western knowledge and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit in her approach to research.
