Project United: Enriching the learning experience through experiential learning. King Albert Elementary School in Lindsay, Ontario is facing problems such as low financial resources, low parent engagement, and low attendance among the children. The children are struggling academically and socially as a result of the lack of resources. Project YouKnighted is creating interactive and fun educational modules to assist elementary teachers as they deliver the Ontario Curriculum learning outcomes. The activities from each module can be executed by teachers as they see fit. Paddy Waste to Income:Partnering with rice farmers to reduce crop waste burning and find new revenue streams. In the state of Punjab, India, it is common for rice farmers to burn their crops at the end of the season. The annual burning of the rice paddy causes serious health hazards for the neighboring city of New Delhi. They do this because they cannot afford basic farming equipment. Paddy Waste to Income will work with local farmers and Enactus teams to empower farmers & reduce the health risks of burning the crop. The straw will be collected, baled and sold to create new sources of revenue for the farmers.Keys to Me:Unlocking success through workshops catered to Fleming students and new Canadians. Keys to Me is a series of empowering workshops conducted by experts within the local community.
