Jan 20 Meeting

We’re looking forward to seeing you tonight!

Tonight, we’re doing a STEM workshop hosted by The Venture Academy at McMaster University, where we’ll learn about how engineers clean oil spills in the 21st Century! This project will focus on United Nations Goal 14, Life Below Water, and participants will explore how engineers can develop innovative ways to combat marine pollution. The project will involve coding a Micro:Bit with an algorithm that an autonomous boat could use to clean oil spills. Plus, it features a really cool badge!

The Venture Academy recommends doing this workshop on a computer or laptop (not a phone or iPad!!) as it involved coding, so please log on from a computer tonight, if you’re able to.
