The Faculty of Education at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Education Technology company, InkSmith, have partnered to develop the Mission on the Moon project.
Funded by the Government of Canada's investment in the Lunar Gateway project, Mission on the Moon is a free bundle of educational coding and robotics courses for students in grades 6 to 9. Supported by the Canadian Space Agency, the goal of this project is to create accessible and approachable resources to encourage the development of coding and STEM skills while fostering an interest in space among Canadian youth.
