📚🪨 From one school year to the next! ⛏️

As we wrap up another summer, we’re looking back at some of the incredible moments we’ve shared with students, teachers, and industry partners across BC. From conferences, workshops, field trips, it has truly been a year full of learning and discovery.

Now, we’re getting ready for another busy year learning about the wonders of Geology! 🔎🪨

Thank you to everyone who made this past year possible. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead!

A day of learning from the experts! 🪨🌋

During her summer term with MineralsEd, our intern visited the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), where she had the chance to connect with a volcanologist and learn more about Earth science and volcanoes.

She even got to hold Acasta Gneiss, one of the oldest known rocks on Earth, at 4 billion years old! 🌎🪨

We love seeing our summer student get hands on with geology and learn from the experts. ⛏️🔎

Once again, a big thank you to the employees from HDR for their generous HDR Canada Fund grant supporting our Junior Geologist Workshops! ⛏️🪨 Their support is helping us gear up for another booked and busy school year, bringing hands on geology and mining education to students across BC.

And guess who’s helping us assemble our Junior Geologist Workshop Kits? 👀

A fellow Roundup participant from Pinetree Secondary! 🎉 We’re excited to welcome Avina to the MineralsEd team as our Summer student. It’s pretty special to see a former Roundup participant go from learning with us to helping bring these programs to the next generation of students! 💙

Day 2 with the OYEP Rangers was all about getting our hands dirty! 🌊✨

The Rangers learned the art of gold panning with Yukon Dan before putting their newly acquired skills to the test in the Fraser River. Along the way, they discovered how prospectors search for placer gold while exploring the rich geology and history of one of British Columbia’s most iconic waterways. A day filled with hands on learning, teamwork, and unforgettable outdoor experiences! 🥇⛏️

We’ve got some exciting updates! 🎉

After a successful school year, our team recently returned from a well deserved team building retreat in Whistler. It was a great opportunity to reconnect, recharge, and celebrate all that we accomplished together.

We also have another exciting milestone to share. We’ve moved! 📦

As we settle into our new office, we’re excited to break new ground and get ready to rock another school year. Here’s to new beginnings, new discoveries, and inspiring the next generation of geoscientists. 👩‍🔬👷‍♀️

👏 A huge thank you to our amazing Geoscientist in the Classroom volunteer, Lars, for helping us wrap up the school year on such a high note!

Last week, Lars visited 4 classrooms across 3 schools, sharing his passion for geoscience and inspiring students through hands-on learning and real world experiences. From exploring earth science concepts to helping students prepare for their own geologic field season, his enthusiasm and expertise made a lasting impact.

Thank you, Lars, for encouraging the next generation of geoscientists before they head off to enjoy a well deserved summer break! 🌎⛏️☀️
