BRIDGING ROOTS
In this 8-month project, the team is working with a group of high school students in Tuktoyak, NWT to build an application which will be used in the Mangilaluk School in hopes of preserving traditional knowledge, culture and language (Inuvaluktun) for the entire Inuvaluit community. The students and team meet virtually on an online basis to foster friendship and collaborate on design and content choices for the application.
The goal is to have a completed application in September 2024!
