Tangiplay robots will soon be welcomed as the latest technological addition to the shelves of the Coquitlam Public Library (@coqlibrary), aimed to help young children learn coding and problem-solving.

According to the creators of the 12 robots, kids control the Tangiplays to play games and solve puzzles by pressing, sliding or rotating them on a tablet.

Regram @resiliencebc A friendly Friday reminder

Regram @resiliencebc

A friendly Friday reminder of the upcoming Taking Action! Lecture with Dr. Eva Jewell of @yellowheadinstitute

This lecture provides participants with insight on how racism is a design element, not a flaw, of settler colonial states like Canada. Citizens of Canada (and those subjected to its power) unwittingly carry behaviours that manifest racism in our social, political and economic structures.

Those who benefit from this structural racism develop personal stakes in a settler colonial system that continues to harm Indigenous peoples, Black people, and racialized peoples more broadly.

Without behavioural change, knowledge of structural racism can only lead to apathy and immobilization. In this lecture, we invite participants to learn the stepping stones for personal embodiment of anti-oppressive practices as preparation for reconciliation.

Join Dr. Eva Jewell and us alongside @sfupublicsquare, this October 6th at 3pm (PST) for this free Taking Action! Lecture. Register at the link in our bio ⚡️
