Our Mission
Through robotics, environmental work, and outreach, we aim to inspire others, promote women in STEM, and create meaningful change. We proudly support Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 4 – Quality Education, Goal 5 – Gender Equality, and Goal 14 – Life Below Water. We are not just building robots—we are building leadership, knowledge, and a more sustainable future.
Educational Outreach
At Trafalgar Castle School, our robotics team leads STEM outreach with a focus on empowering young students—especially girls—to explore science and technology. We’ve reached over 130 students through school visits and hands-on workshops, all designed and led by our school team. At Alexander Graham Bell Public School, we worked with Grade 4 and 5 students on MicroBit coding, LEGO tabletop design, and MATE robotics while also introducing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At Village Union Public School, we ran a coding workshop using LEGO Spike and Sphero robotics. At Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School, we connected our program to the Grade 9 science curriculum by teaching students how to build circuits using breadboards and electrical components.
Community Engagement
Outside of classrooms, we share our robotics work with the broader community by demonstrating our underwater ROV at Trafalgar Castle Open Houses and CAIS Family Tours. We also welcome visiting schools to our campus to view our robot in action at the pool. Our outreach was recently highlighted in the Toronto Star as an example of student-led STEM leadership.
Environmental Impact
In addition to robotics, we contribute to environmental science through EcoSpark’s Changing Currents program. This is our seventh year monitoring water quality at Pringle Creek. Our team collects and analyzes aquatic invertebrates to assess the health of the stream. In 2023, we found our site to be “Potentially Impaired” and submitted our findings to EcoSpark’s public dashboard as part of a province-wide citizen science initiative.
