Decolonizing Makerspaces

July 29, 2023

Makerspaces

The Journey to decolonizing our educational spaces.

Guest presenters Paula and Kyle would like you to join them in discovering ways that we can decolonize our educational spaces through conversation, respect, and reciprocity. Neither Paula or Kyle are Indigenous, but are both on their own journey to honour Truth and Reconciliation and they hope to share that journey with you. Join us to engage in activity, discussion, and learning.

Due to the sensitive topic of this presentation, the facilitators have chosen not to share the workshop recording.


Meet The Presenters

Kyle Pindar, Toronto District School Board

An innovative leader in educational technology and learning, using data analytics to drive measurable outcomes in various fields. I have a proven track record in creating manageable and supportive strategies, focusing on technology and the 21st century’s needs, I bring forth creative solutions and frameworks to support all learners in developing capacity in technology, pedagogy, and social-emotional learning.

Paula Huddy-Zunkowski, Calgary Catholic School District

Paula Huddy-Zubkowski is currently the Educational Technology Consultant in Mohkinstis on traditional Blackfoot Territory. She has taught in a K-9 school, Indigenous Studies 30, and for the last five years she has been a consultant in her District developing robot kits, videos, STEAM programming, and makerspaces. Paula has traveled to the Southern Ocean as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow through National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions to develop STEAM lessons around geographic literacy and design thinking. Her passion is to have students design with purpose so they can become agents of change.
