Published purpose

The project « Our Home in the Skies » will develop teaching/learning bundles for the facilitation for informal and formal STEM/STEAM space education that encourage Indigenous youth to consider STEM space careers, provide cultural teachings with Elders and their star stories, and teach Indigenous world views to others. In Indigenous contexts, the explanations of natural or scientific phenomena will be presented in terms to which youth can relate (Indigenous/cultural terms with an Elder or Knowledge Keeper), and then explained in western terms.
