micro:bit Hide ‘n’ Seek Game

Using the micro:bit’s we have designed a hide and seek game that educators can use to get students interested in technology. The instructor will hide micro:bits throughout a classroom or school campus then give each student team a seeker micro:bit. The students will then use the seeker to locate the hidden micro:bits were they will be tested with questions inputted by the instructor.

A Follow-Up Survey to Compassionate Ottawa’s Grief and Bereavement Workshop

We have been working with Compassionate Ottawa for our community nursing placement. They offer grief and bereavement workshops to members of the community to help them understand the concept of grief, the grieving process, and how to interact with those who are grieving. We have helped them develop a survey that will be sent to participants after 3 months to evaluate the content of the workshop and how participants feel related to their knowledge and comfort surrounding the topic and grief.

Shepherds of Good Hope: Enhancing Transitional Emergency Shelter and Diversion Programs

The primary aim of this comprehensive report was to conduct a thorough evaluation of the Transitional Emergency Shelter Program/ Targeted Engagement & Diversion (TESP/ TED) initiative at Shepherds of Good Hope (SGH). This involved the development of detailed questionnaires and conducting extensive interviews with a diverse range of stakeholders, including service users, SGH and Inner City staff, as well as representatives from the Ottawa Police Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service. The overarching goal was to evoke personal experiences and perspectives related to their interactions with the TESP/ TED programs. By delving into these individual narratives, the study sought not only to gain insights, but also to identify the strengths of the programs and pinpoint areas for potential growth and improvement. Through the collection of subjective data, both positive and negative, students are primarily hoping to gain feedback and uncover areas of future research within this organization.

OneBastion

In response to growing cybersecurity risks and demand for remote work, OneBastion offers organizations an affordable authentication system for cloud-based workloads. The target users include NGOs like the Children’s Aid Society of Algoma. Commercial products specializing in cloud-based authentication sometimes are too costly for institutions and small businesses with limited budgets. OneBastion is explicitly designed to help such organizations to manage their cybersecurity risks. It only allows authenticated users to access sensitive applications such as Microsoft 365 (Outlook, OneDrive and more) and the cloud-based applications owned by the organizations. It significantly reduces the attack surface because intruders cannot log in to sensitive corporate applications without first authenticating to the secure bastion host.
