100 Mile Elementary
This week, four of our intermediate classes had the opportunity to participate in an engaging STEM workshop presented by University of Northern British Columbia Active Minds.
Through hands-on building, problem-solving, and collaborative challenges, students explored STEM learning in ways that were active, creative, and deeply engaging. Experiences like these remind us that supporting children in discovering their strengths and future possibilities is a collective responsibility shared between schools, families, communities, and post-secondary partners.
One especially meaningful part of the day was welcoming back one of the presenters, a graduate from our own community. Seeing local students return to inspire the next generation creates a powerful bridge between elementary learning and future pathways, helping students see that opportunities in STEM are within reach.
By creating connections between young learners and real-world experiences, we help students expand their sense of what is possible for their future. Thank you to the Active Minds team for investing in our students and helping nurture curiosity, confidence, and innovation.
