STEM Enrichment in Indigenous Communities

We invite you to support science education for Indigenous students through our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Enrichment in Indigenous Communities program.

Since 2020, Pueblo Science has partnered with First Nations schools north of Thunder Bay to deliver biweekly online classes, culminating in a weeklong, in-person science festival featuring engaging, hands-on activities. With your support, we aim to expand our reach to five additional classrooms in 2025, providing educational workshops and learning materials. Your donation will help us inspire and empower Indigenous youth through the transformative power of STEM education.

"Teaching and learning with Pueblo Science has been an enriching, collaborative experience. Mayrose and Cher-Tian inspired curiosity and discovery among my students by sharing their contagious passion for science. I observed that by the end of the lesson my students had learned scientific vocabulary and concepts, as well as a newly found love for science. The lesson content was aligned with our grade level curriculum expectations. Coming from a remote rural community, it was a profound experience to meet and learn with scientists and teachers from all over the world. My students enjoyed making the magnetic slime the most and are looking forward to doing more STEM activities next year!" -Mackenzie Cox, Science Teacher, Webequie First Nations

"Pueblo Science is an amazing organization that helps deliver innovative science learning opportunities to children all over the world. They completed a 4-week series of lessons with Grade 9 students in Geraldton Ontario. We covered 6 chemistry labs, and 3 lessons on energy and electricity. The final task was the construction of a robotic car which they designed, packaged, and mailed to our remote location. Their team of expert volunteer Scientists work with you every step of the way to create an authentic learning experience. The instructors are calm, personable, and insightful to help the students connect with the ``Big Idea`` as it is linked to the Ontario Curriculum, and the students get to spend real time with experts in that scientific field. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to take a risk on something new and try an extremely rewarding program!" -Blair Vanden Broek, Science Teacher, Geraldton Composite High School
