With two visiting Actua instructors in the community to help celebrate Odyssey Week, the school was opened up to residents to experience some of the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workshops as well as the hands-on challenges relating to the theme of space.
Actua, a charitable group that raises the profile of STEM learning, has six teams of instructors visiting 23 Nunavut communities in May.
