From Low Tech to High Tech:
Solving today's most pressing Environmental issues in schools
Quebec’s curriculum exposes students to a lot of environmental challenges, but rarely on how to solve them. In this session, we explore low tech to high tech solutions students can use now to start solving today’s greatest environmental and sustainability challenges.
The workshop includes 2 hands-on activities:
LOW TECH: Prototyping something to deter garden pests (using items you already have available).
HIGH TECH-ish: Very basic programming of a microcontroller to create alarms which respond to environmental conditions like temperature, light/darkness, etc. (no device or experience required!)

School-Community Gardens: Building engagement, relationships and connections
