In this workshop, students will learn about coding, Anishinaabemowin, and Indigenous science! Students will use code and Anishinaabemowin to build a map for a small ozobot robot to follow. As the ozobot robot travels through the map, students will encounter different beings and learn about the relationships these beings have with Manoomin (wild rice).
Learn MoreWaaboz (hare) is looking for food, and Mshikekek (cooper’s hawk) is hunting for Waaboz. During this unplugged coding activity, students will work in teams to collect food and safely return home while learning about reciprocity, ecosystem balance, and sustainability . They’ll have to adapt to a series of obstacles that Waaboz and Mshikekek encounter in real life and listen to their teammate's coding commands!
