Whether learning to code a game, develop a program, or create digital art, youth will bring stories from Canada’s past 150 years to life digitally through code and develop a skill crucial for their future success and will help them hone their craft, so when they go to more difficult phases of learning, like taking up master of data science, they’ll be well prepared. Lessons explore science, technology, indigenous peoples & reconciliation, official languages, the environment, history, art, and culture.

On July 1st, Canada Learning Code will reveal a digital scrapbook collection of student projects that celebrate Canada 150 – reimagined through the eyes of our youth. Participants also have a chance to win a set of Google Chromebooks for their class or group.

This Canada 150 initiative is led by  (CLC) with the support of the Department of Canadian Heritage and Boeing. CLC has also organized signature events throughout the week in:

Ottawa (June 1) | Halifax (June 2)  | Montreal (June 3) | Winnipeg (June 5) | Vancouver (June 5) | Toronto (June 6) | Victoria (June 7) | Whitehorse (June 8)

The week provides the opportunity to introduce youth to coding and provide educators the resources they need to bring coding education into the classroom, strengthening digital literacy across Canada. “Technology can level the educational playing field, creating far-reaching opportunities for all members of our society to develop their talents into skills that will drive innovation.” said Melissa Sariffodeen, CEO of CLC.
