For white folk - an Arduino controller clock building workshop. (these are everywhere, bt
Not that it is only for white folk. But while doing the same thing as everyone else, if you aren't white and christian, you risk being arrested by an ignorant jack-booted cop who was called by an ignorant jack-booted teacher because, if you are darker skinned and Muslim, in their eye you might be a terrorist.
Because it is easier to arrest a 12 year old kid than to confront your own or your colleagues racism and bigotry, as might happen in a school run by cowards.

In a time when government funding for sciences is dwindling, workshops that encourage youth to take an interest in science and technology are essential for the future of Canada and the world.
Increased knowledge of technology helps to avoid fearful reactions to creative thinking and technological innovation, such as the case of Ahmed, a student recently arrested in Texas for bringing a homemade clock to school.
Please join at VHS to build your very own homemade clock.
