Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to explore space and discover all the universe has to offer for the Canadian Space Agency. Along with the Cybermentor and Discover the Universe team, you'll blast off to the moon, pass the planets, explore other solar systems, nebulas, and the edge of the Milky Way. We look forward to learning about astronomy with you with this interactive, facilitated STEAM-themed escape room-esque virtual activity! Spots are limited but open to all ages.

Workshop Description:

My people are already suffering from the climate crisis, examining how the overlap of discrimination, poverty, and deteriorating landscapes have intensified its effects on Indigenous peoples. We shall be exploring how to acknowledge with both humility and sorrow that we are now all as lost as each other and to discover if there is a way we can reconnect with the wisdom and knowledge of Indigenous peoples, whose voices have gone unheard for too long. Participants will be given time to reflect on what has been lost and what needs to be found, and to discuss actions we can each take to reconnect with our ancestral knowledge.

Meet Tessa Bailey:

As a Tlingit First Nations woman, I was raised in our values of Hà Kus Teayea (Tlingit Natural Law). My nation and my given name, Gadzoosdaa, give me a responsibility to care for the land and for the youth. Climate change has had major impacts on our communities in Northern Canada. Food security, as wildlife populations dwindle, housing, as the ground collapses with the melting of permafrost, and suicide, as our identity fades away in a delicate dance between ourselves and the land, are all catalysts for our voices to be heard.

This event is open to all community members across Turtle Island, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to connect with us at cybermentor@ucalgary.ca.

Cybermentor is excited to present "The STEAM of Quilting" featuring Wendy Hutchins. Wendy is a microbiologist and quilter extraordinaire- she will be sharing the science, technology, engineering, and math involved in quilting, and her experience of what she calls "Pandemic Patchwork and Quilting COVID". She follows the timeline of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and creates quilts that reflect the information, studies, and her experiences at that time. With over half a dozen completed quilts (and many on the way!), Wendy's presentation demonstrates the ways that the arts and STEM come together seamlessly (pun intended). All are welcome and this event is FREE.
