Born in Canada, Built for Purpose: Designing a Turnkey Learning Experience

Born in Canada, Built for Purpose: Designing a Turnkey Learning Experience

At Forward Education, we design every part of our learning ecosystem right here in Canada—with educators, for educators. From lesson plans to learning platforms, from training modules to project tutorials, our resources are thoughtfully developed to make computer science, climate action, and real-world problem-solving easy to bring into any classroom.

We believe coding is more than a tech skill—it’s a tool for change. And when it’s taught through purposeful, hands-on learning experiences, students gain the confidence to shape a better future.

Here’s how our Canadian-designed tools and resources support educators every step of the way.

Lessons with Real-World Canadian Connections

Each Climate Action Kit lesson starts with a real-world problem and its connection to a real-world example, and many are inspired by environmental challenges right here in Canada. Here are a few of our most recent Canadian-inspired projects:

• Designing wildlife crossings like those in Banff National Park

• Exploring how fishways help native species return to Cootes Paradise Marsh in Ontario

• Using Smart Home automation to reduce energy consumption, like the Ecobee smart thermostat from Toronto

Aligning Lessons to Provincial Standards

Each lesson is designed to align with Canadian curriculum goals in science and math, with specific provincial alignments completed for Ontario’s Science and Math strands and Alberta’s updated Science, Math, and Social Studies, including the new Computer Science curriculum. Projects combine coding, data, and environmental problem-solving in a way that supports key outcomes and keeps learning hands-on and relevant.

“It’s exciting to see students engaged in coding because they care about the problem they’re solving.”

Real-World Connections to Canadian Career Paths

Every Climate Action Kit lesson links to our Career Profile Library, highlighting real-world environmental and STEM careers. Each profile includes salary ranges, key skills, and pathways to Canadian universities and certifications—helping students explore options and start planning their future.

Career Spotlights:

• Marine Biologist
  

• Renewable Energy Engineer
  

• Forestry Technician
  

• Commercial Diver
