We have three first nations community schools, and we've had more that are involved with Techsploration. The first school began with us at its inception—the Waycobah school in Cape Breton. There's an awesome difference between how things were when the school began with us and how the young women and the teachers participate in the program now.
There are so many things that are important here. When the young women come to the community college, the university, or to other schools, they learn from the young women in the schools as well as from role models. Sometimes we have first nation role models and sometimes we don't.
One thing that was really interesting last year was that for the first time we started to pair our schools. Our Eskasoni First Nation community school hosted one of the teens from another school. After the teen left, the Techsploration student went to school at Eskasoni. They emailed us to say how excited the teen was to be at a first nations school for the first time. The same thing goes in reverse. This year the girls were at our Whitney Pier school and all of the girls at Whitney Pier and the other kids got to meet the teen from Eskasoni. These are opportunities that they probably wouldn't have had otherwise.
