Young students who are great at fixing things and love to tinker are moved into trades, as if they are not good enough to be scientists or engineers. This makes us limited in what we can contribute to the needs of our communities and causes us to be reliant on non-Indigenous people. I want to uplift Indigenous ways of problem solving to introduce students to technical subjects in STEM, encourage them to ask questions and build a practical foundation for their natural engineering minds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supervised by Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/lassonde.yorku.ca\/users\/mb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Melanie Baljko<\/strong><\/a> in the Department of Electrical Engineering &amp; Computer Science, McConnell will apply his extensive educational and professional background in English, education, digital media and technology to explore, develop and inform new approaches to Indigenous education in STEM. McConnell is also enrolled in the school's <a href=\"https:\/\/lassonde.yorku.ca\/academics\/graduate-program-in-digital-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Media program<\/a>, which operates jointly with York's School of the Arts, Media, Performance &amp; Design, allowing learners to do specialized hybrid research, uniquely combining computational science and artistic practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to his research, McConnell will extend his expertise to York\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/edu\/students\/waaban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Waaban Indigenous Teacher Education program<\/a>. Through teachings from Indigenous elders, educators and community leaders, the program aims to prepare the next generation of teachers, who will address the needs of First Nation, M\u00e9tis and Inuit students, families and communities \u2013 putting Indigenous futures in Indigenous hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew McConnell has received a four-year Indigenous and
