Designed with inclusivity, cultural relevance, social justice and regional curriculum in mind, our coding & robotics programs are offered free to K-12 classrooms across subject areas.
Coding Project Offerings
Code To Learn offers coding opportunities in many programming languages. We use MakeCode, EarSketch (Python), Weavly, and quite frequently LYNX!
LYNX is a text-based, cloud-based coding environment that is the natural next step for kids that are ready to move on from using blocks to code but might not be quite ready to use more complex programming languages like Python or JavaScript.
LYNX is Canadian-made by the company founded by Seymour Papert—the father of educational computing. It is available in Canadian English, French, Ojibwe, Mi’kmaw, Oji-Cree, Mohawk, with other Indigenous languages to come. Check out LYNXcoding.club
In addition to the project offerings, the LYNX team is:
training FNMI students in LYNX Coding in their own language
creating LYNX Coding in Indigenous Languages
developing educational materials to support provincial curricula
Abu Huraira reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “Who is most deserving of my good company?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked, “Then who?” The Prophet said “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked again, “Then who?” The Prophet said, “Your father.”

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them even ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully. Surat al-Isra’ 17:23
We have commanded people to honour their parents. Their mothers bore them through hardship upon hardship, and their weaning takes two years. So be grateful to Me and your parents. To Me is the final return. But if they pressure you to associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them. Still keep their company in this world courteously, and follow the way of those who turn to Me in devotion. Then to Me you will all return, and then I will inform you of what you used to do.
Surat Luqman 31:14-15
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah writes:
لَيْسَ لِأَحَدِ الْأَبَوَيْنِ أَنْ يُلْزِمَ الْوَلَدَ بِنِكَاحِ مَنْ لَا يُرِيدُ وَأَنَّهُ إذَا امْتَنَعَ لَا يَكُونُ عَاقًّا وَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدِ أَنْ يُلْزِمَهُ بِأَكْلِ مَا يَنْفِرُ عَنْهُ مَعَ قُدْرَتِهِ عَلَى أَكْلِ مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ نَفْسُهُ كَانَ النِّكَاحُ كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْلَى It is not for either parent to require the child to marry someone they do not want, and if the child refuses they are not being disobedient. If it is not for anyone to require someone to eat what they detest, despite their ability to eat what they desire themselves, then marriage is likewise even more so. – Source: Majmū’ al-Fatāwá 32/30
Tim Hortons does send Children to Camps all over Ontario – and I personally met a couple – those with Limited or close to no financial possibilities for a camp (trip) – or special needs- so donating helps the Kids;
