Published purpose

This project will make the findings from the Kuugalaaq Cultural Campus research in Cambridge Bay more accessible to the community by transforming climate, energy, and environmental data into engaging, Inuinnaqtun-forward communication tools, including infographics, cultural designs, and interactive digital content. By embedding NFC technology throughout the campus, community members will be able to access information about sustainable infrastructure, climate adaptation, and environmental stewardship simply by tapping their phones on site features. The project will enhance community understanding of local climate research, promote cultural and linguistic inclusion, and support Inuit self-determination and innovation in Arctic research and knowledge sharing.
