Project Funding

These are just some ideas, we love original project ideas!

• Paper circuit materials:

Grade 6 students will create constellations on cardstock. Students will research legends about the constellation from various cultures worldwide, including the Mi'kmaq, and present their learning through posters, videos, or podcast recordings. 

• Codable robots:

A grade 2 class will write stories and code the robot toys to act out the story with their movements. Students will also use craft materials to design costumes for the robots. 

• Podcasting microphones:

Grade 4 students will investigate materials that absorb sound by creating desktop recording booths out of cardboard and test different materials for their ability to absorb sound. Microbits will be used to measure sound levels, and students will work in teams to write and record podcasts about explorers throughout history.

• Building materials:

Grade 1 students will explore a variety of building materials such as Lego, Keva planks, magnet tiles, MakeDo screws and connecting straws to create model structures and buildings that would improve our community.  Students will share their contributions in an oral presentation. 

• Exploring Circles

While learning about the properties of circles in math class, grade 7 students will use TinkerCAD to design and 3D print their personal designs using criteria decided by the class.

• Hydraulics

Grade 8 students will use syringes, tubing, and Lego Technics to design machine prototypes that complete specific tasks. Experimenting with syringes of various sizes, groups will make creative and practical choices to help their machine work the best it can. 

• Entrepreneurship

What can we provide to help get your student's business ideas running? From vinyl cutters and heat presses to craft materials or a 3D printer, we love helping young entrepreneurs get their start!

• Movie Making

Grade 11 students will use webcams and Chromebooks to film their scripts and creative writing stories.

• Sustainable Farming Models

Agriculture 11 students will use craft materials, Microbits and hobby electronics to design and and model sustainable farms with working elements such as wind turbines, solar panels, etc.
