As demand grows for programs that help youth build real‑world digital skills, BGC Canada set out to enhance its Kids Tech Nation curriculum with a new, interactive experience for ages 7–12. The goal was to introduce coding and technology concepts through a theme that felt timely, meaningful, and exciting for young learners—while ensuring facilitators had the bilingual resources they needed to deliver the program across 25 Clubs nationwide. To bring this vision to life, BGC partnered with Logics Academy to create a hands‑on learning journey that empowers kids to explore climate science through modern technology.

“BGC Canada wanted to expand our STEM
programming to youth, and we felt that
connecting it to the environment would be a
meaningful approach. Logics assisted us in
developing an engaging, high-quality program
and we could not be more pleased with the
outcome and how it enables youth to learn
more about the impact of climate change while
exploring new tech. The development of
Climate Coders expands access to equitydeserving youth and promotes the joy of
learning.”

Challenge

BGC Canada was looking to develop an interactive program for youth ages 7 – 12 to augment the learnings from Kids Tech Nation which introduced children to basic digital skills and coding concepts. They also wanted to incorporate a relevant theme reflective of the times and one which their audience would be interested in. Lastly, facilitator resources and engaging activities in both English and French were required to help deliver this program to 25 Clubs across Canada.

Solution

Logics Academy has developed STEM related learning experiences for Canadian educators and students for over 10 years. In collaboration with BGC and with support from CanCode, they created Climate Coders which challenges students to develop modern technology skills through the introduction of a variety of coding and robotics activities using the CyberPi device.

This single board controller and accessories combined with a comprehensive teaching guide and 8-week lesson plan will instruct kids how to measure temperature, air pressure and other areas related to climate control and the environment all while advancing their coding skills.

Results

25 BGC Clubs across Canada have received their hardware kits and have begun to teach the program. Kids are engaged and learning not just about how to use new technology but about how they can help play a small role in climate change.
