SPARC Students Meet Community Partners

It was an especially exciting SPARC day on September 24 as some of our groups connected with their community partners for the first time!

The Coding & Robotics group met with the Wise Ones today to get to know them and learn about their digital game preferences as they start to think about their own cybersecurity game project. 

The Design & Build group welcomed representatives from CNIB, who they will be partnering with to develop tools to help people who are visually impaired.

The Social Justice group visited the local Mission Thrift Store as they learn about thrifting in their continuing study of fast fashion. 

The Community & Identity group explored historic downtown Newmarket, getting to know this key part of the town. 

The Environmental Stewardship group went to Blue & Silver Farm where they did a planting workshop, visited the beehives and delved into what the property needs and has to offer as they plan their project. 

Stay tuned to see how these projects develop throughout the term!
