Building the Next Generation of Innovators

In today's world, digital literacy for youth goes beyond using apps and social media. It's about understanding how technology works and being able to create with it. In Alberta, a growing movement of educators, non-profits, and industry partners are creating dynamic learning environments where young people can explore coding, robotics, digital design, and more.

These initiatives foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. By moving from being passive consumers of technology to active creators, young Albertans are not just preparing for future jobs—they are developing the mindset to invent them. We spotlight programs that make learning fun and accessible, from after-school coding clubs to summer camps and community maker spaces equipped with 3D printers and laser cutters.
