Grade 6 to 8 classes across Canada are invited to take on Mission Explorium this February!  The challenge, set on a fictional deserted island, has students work collaboratively to explore ecosystems, agriculture, food systems and culture while creating a sustainable society with the help of a pair of knowledgeable birds and a zany anthropologist. The epic adventure includes interactive videos, hands-on activities and leaderboards to keep students engaged and inspired.

With carefully designed activities that bring the curriculum to life, Mission Explorium makes learning fun and impactful. Students solve puzzles, design creative projects and tackle real-world challenges that spark critical thinking and curiosity. The program is flexible and accessible, making it an excellent fit for classrooms of all kinds.

Ten regional winners will advance to compete for the grand prize in April, with the Regional Champions going head-to-head with their counterparts in the quest to crown a National Champion. This year’s National Champion will win a Plantaform Indoor Garden for their classroom, generously donated by Plantaform. The indoor garden uses fog technology to grow fresh greens year-round while fostering learning about STEM in agriculture and food.

Registration is free and open now. The competition begins on February 17!
