Abstract

The STEAM Academy represents a uniquely effective approach to building pathways to post secondary education for Indigenous and non-Indigenous high school students, where students can begin to braid diploma level courses into their studies. This allows students to build toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), while simultaneously receiving credits toward a Software Engineering Technician Diploma. This project has supported Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) and Mohawk College to develop curriculum and transfer pathways that link STEAM Academy outcomes with further post secondary opportunities at SNP and Mohawk College. Throughout this project, both SNP and Mohawk College have gained a great deal of knowledge relating to potential post secondary pathways for our SNP STEAM Academy Students, and as a peripheral benefit, our partnerships and departmental connections have also been strengthened.
