Canada’s economy is quickly shifting to a digital future – ensuring that all Canadians have access to the basics of digital literacy and are aware of the changes in our evolving employment market are increasingly critical.
Designed to build early engagement in underrepresented groups in the tech sector, Building Blocks aims to create the foundations for digital opportunities in Canada’s Indigenous communities through its innovative youth technology education programs.
Organizations within Alberta’s blockchain technology ecosystem have created this unique pilot project to help build a platform for these emerging new opportunities. The initial program is seeking partnerships with groups supporting Indigenous youth and follows a multi-stage participatory educational process in which students take an active role in realizing their visions for the next generation of digital opportunities.
