The IDEA: Leader-in-Training (LIT) program is a partnership between University of Toronto and Actua, in
collaboration with Dufferin-Peel District School Board.

Designed for Indigenous secondary students who are interested in learning more about STEM (Science,
Technology Engineering and Math), the IDEA-LIT Program is grounded in Indigenous land-based
learning and Indigenous Knowledge and will demonstrate to students that Indigenous knowledge is
STEM. Participants will gain knowledge and skills to make connections between Indigenous land-based
knowledge systems and STEM related activities.

See the poster for more details.
