Find sprites and other assets created by the Makerspace Technicians that your students can use while creating their games.
Note: if your school's ITS has disabled student access to external folders, teachers may need to download the assets to share with students.

During the land acknowledgements we mentioned some resources for you to use with your class in order to have a meaningful conversation about whose land you are learning and teaching on and what treaties you are members of. These resources can help you begin your conversation.
To continue your conversation we recommend the Educational Resources available on the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s website.
