* Due to the fact we are volunteers, and full time teachers as well, we are limited in the amount of on-site technology support we can offer. We are excited about what you discover and challenges you encounter and will endeavour connect you with appropriate support resources where we can. We hope that you can curate a network of collaborators within your school or collegial group to strengthen and reinforce the inquiry experience for you and your students.
