Planting a Better Future


Infrastructure and Sustainability and Engineering Outreach at Ontario Tech University are excited to be offering online classroom learning with hands-on opportunities to youth in grades 4-6. The Planting a Better Future initiative aims to educate the younger generation on the benefits of vegetable gardening and sustainability. We will discuss the basic science behind plants, their physical and mental benefits to human beings, and how gardening is a sustainable hobby that is beneficial to the planet.

Engineering Connections: Environmental Engineering, Sustainability Engineering.

We plan to have an online session that is an hour-long, where students will plant seeds while learning to care for their plants, learn about well-being, and discuss sustainability topics. We may also have a follow-up session to compare seedlings and continue learning. 

We are pleased to offer Planting a Better Future initiative at no cost to families with the generous support of Hydro One and Ontario Tech Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
