Weaving Indigenous perspectives and mainstream science to help bridge the gap in scientific literacy

The CLS Education Team is committed to transforming STEM education by showing educators how to integrate experiential learning and inquiry practices into their teaching practices. We engage educators in immersive, hands-on learning opportunities that they can apply in their classroom or bring students to participate in our programs. We prioritize inclusivity by connecting to Indigenous Ways of Knowing and respecting Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expressions. Explore our programs to join us in empowering future generations and embracing Indigenous communities through science.
