What's New?

New Language friendly project in partnership with Binogi Feb 4, 2026 This year marked the launch of a new Language Friendly Project in partnership with Binogi sponsored by MITACS. This project focusses on enhancing mathematics readiness for multilingual learners in Canada. Through this collaboration, we co-develop multilingual, curriculum-aligned digital learning resources designed to support newcomer and minoritized students in building academic language, digital literacy, and standardized assessment readiness in STEM subjects.
