North Slave teachers and students learn about the importance of rocks, minerals, exploration, mining and careers through hands-on activities. A team of dynamic educators and role models from Mining Matters, the GNWT and TerraX Minerals deliver professional development workshops and a field trip for teachers, as well as an engaging four-day school program and field trip for students. As so many things we use in our daily lives are made up of minerals found the in the Earth, these teacher workshops and student programs are designed to create both awareness and excitement for learning about the geology around us and rewarding career choices.
