GCAT Member, EASTERN Construction, hosted several Grade 9 students for Take Our Kids To Work Day (an initiative of The Learning Partnership) on November 2nd, 2016. In keeping with the season, pictured below are students participating in the design/build haunted house challenge.

Learn about the Maker Movement! There is a technological and creative revolution underway. Fortunately for educators, the Maker Movement overlaps with the natural inclinations of young minds and the power of learning by doing.

Visit the link below for a better understanding of how this movement works hand in hand with the Ontario Skills Passport – Essential Skills, while teaching the basics of construction.

Consider how the construction industry can collaborate with educators to enhance the Maker Movement, while promoting professional construction careers in the classroom.
