In this edition of Brilliant Labs Magazine: Making Connections, we share stories from our community of makers and educators who have found ways to connect virtually. We explore how our own team reconsidered their connections with teachers and students as many schools were closed to external visitors. Our Program Specialists saw great success in virtual classroom visits as they worked to support teachers and students from afar and integrated new monthly coding challenges to keep pushing student learning forward. We launched our Brilliant Labs Speaker Series that has introduced participants to inspiring local entrepreneurs who empowered youth to follow their passions early in life. Followed by a world renowned mentors & the science of 4D printing. Virtual programs like these are helping Atlantic Canadian youth make connections in ways they never would have in a traditional environment.
