I need some ideas for ice breakers for a classroom of 20 or so 4-6th graders and 7-9th graders, for next week's Intro to Game Development class. Bonus points if the icebreaker is somehow tied into video games or game development.

Foundation tackles digital divide that limits Indigenous success

Indigenous digital specialist James Delorme realizes progress is being made, but he knows much more needs to be done to close the digital divide that exists between Indigenous peoples and the rest of Canada. Delorme, the former chief of Klahoose First Nation in British Columbia, offered his thoughts on this issue during a webinar titled “Bridging the Digital Divide: Advancing Indigenous Digital Equity Through Partnership”,which was held on May 21.

i dont often hear stories and myths from africa, but this one was interesting to listen to and you can tell the animators had fun with it!

Microbial literacy for highschoolers: after their research project, they visit our lab, we discuss their results. They found 3 new microbes in different genera. They're beyond excited now. #Microbiology rocks! #FermeScholen #RealScienceForRealKids #education #STEM
