The Ocean Toolkit promotes ocean literacy in the classroom. This free resource for teachers encourages young people to be more curious about the ocean.

The book teaches children aged 10 to 12 years old about industries that work in, on and around the ocean, and how we use the ocean’s resources to explore and study the ocean.

Featuring quizzes, online resources and interesting facts, this resource highlights how industry plays a powerful role in establishing a sustainable blue economy, and also raises awareness about the range of industries and careers involved.

Using some of the latest technology combined with traditional manufacturing, the Halifax Shipyard team of welders, pipe-fitters, electricians, designers, engineers, quality inspectors, accountants, supply chain managers, and many more are working together every day to maintain and repair Halifax-class frigates, and build new Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships, and Canadian Surface Combatants. Now you too can build the STEM-class of ships!

Developed in parternship with Irving Shipbuilding Inc. for STEMfest 2018 Halifax, this activity mimics the contruction of a Navy Ship in 3 megablocks, and provides blue prints, instruction documents and an overall description of the activity.
