On March 4, Thames Valley officially kicked off Innovation Valley 2025 — a six-week learning experience for 160 elementary students from 16 different schools, wrapping up with a two-day event at Fanshawe College in April.
In partnership with Fanshawe, students are exploring real-world problems connected to the United Nations’ Net Zero 2050 goal. They'll take part in a pitch competition, where they present a realistic, local solution to reduce carbon emissions, and a robotics challenge using LEGO Spike Primes to complete carbon-reducing missions.
The goal? To show students how hands-on, real-world learning connects directly to what they’re doing now in elementary school and how it can lead to future opportunities in secondary programs, post-secondary pathways, and careers. Along the way, students are building critical skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking that will support them at every stage of their learning journey.
We’re excited to see what these young innovators come up with!
