AVARA

Future Makers Symposium - In a panel moderated by Jarret Leaman, expert insight was given last night by Neishaw Ali, Umar Ghuman, Vikas Gupta, and Rob Elsworthy about how emerging AI technology is impacting every level of the workforce 💻

Join us on our mission to show the world the fragile beauty beyond the depths of the Great Lakes in St. Lawrence through augmented reality and interactive storytelling! 🌊 (3/3)

As majestic and beautiful as they are, belugas are sadly living on borrowed time – toxic chemicals, pollution, algae blooms and underwater noise from ships have caused the pollution to dwindle from an estimated 10,000 to 1,000 over 140 years. (2/3)

Did you know that an estimated 900 beluga whales live in the St. Lawrence River? 🐋 In case you need a geography refresher, the St. Lawrence connects the Great Lakes to Atlantic Waters. (1/3)

Protecting & celebrating the Great Lakes St Lawrence ecosystem is a priority for our nations, states and communities. It is a shared responsibility. New interactive tool to protect Great Lakes Biinaagami showcased. @swimdrinkfish ⁦@CanGeo⁩ anishinabeknews.ca/2024/02/22/new…

The AR triggers on the map will transport you across time and place to learn how Indigenous knowledge can help ensure a clean water future for all 🌊

The Biinaagami project integrates AVARA's AR technology into their Giant Floor Map (8x11 metres!) to share interactive Indigenous stories throughout the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence Watershed.

#DYK The surf is alive and well, even throughout Canadian winters 🤙 Riding the waves in the Great Lakes relies heavily on winds, making fall and winter the best time for freshwater surfers.

Beautiful day at the beach in Scarborough. Bluffers beach connects to waterfront trail to Rouge River. Discover how to protect, restore and connect with your Great Lakes ecosystem through biinaagami.ca #biinaagami @swimdrinkfish @CanGeo @swimguide

An upcoming state-of-the-art #AugmentedReality exhibition, #Biinaagami immerses audiences into an engaging, interactive journey of discovery, exploration, and learning about the Great Lakes 🌊

What difference does an #interactive experience make? 👋 According to a University of Washington study, students taught through traditional lectures are 55% more likely to fail a class than those taught through interactive learning.

Thank you! The Great Lakes St Lawrence River watershed is the planet’s largest fresh water ecosystem & a shared responsibility of many nations, communities & people. Industry decision to create & bury deadly nuclear waste in watershed is reckless. @swimdrinkfish

Today is #NationalBirdDay! 🐦 Keep an eye out this weekend for birds like the Black-Capped Chickadee, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Common Redpoll, and Downy Woodpecker. These hardy birds like to stick around and tough out Canadian winters ❄️
