Littératies plurielles, valeurs et diversité culturelle : optimisation de l’expérience nouveaux médias d’albums interactifs de littérature jeunesse à l’intention des tout-petits

Les enfants francophones et non francophones d’âge préscolaire disposent de peu d’outils interactifs stimulants les prédisposant avec bienveillance à des littératies physique et langagière. Si en réponse à ce besoin bien réel, le site Muzikiddy a spontanément vu le jour en 2020, un cadre d’éducation-intervention-apprentissage dressé à la lumière des connaissances scientifiques probantes à ce jour en la matière, s’avérerait à présent profitable en regard de l’atteinte des objectifs visés à l’intention des tout-petits. Il importe de documenter rigoureusement les choix de contenu et de forme à poser de sorte que le site Muzikiddy s’inscrive comme un chef de file en faveur d’un développement global accru dès la prime enfance. D’une revue des écrits résultera un cadre de mise en action favorable à l’apprentissage pour le public cible visé et s’ensuivra une idéation, une production et une distribution de contenus originaux sur la plateforme de Muzikiddy. Notre ambition : aborder tôt des problématiques sociétales et comportementales – intimidation, discrimination, isolement. Tout sera mis en œuvre pour favoriser la dimension ludique et humoristique en abordant des sujets difficiles et sensibles que les jeunes sont parfois amenés à vivre. À terme, les outils conçus incarneront une source au service de l’altérité et permettront aux enfants du Canada, voire de la Francophonie, de prendre conscience de certains travers de la société auxquels ils seront mieux préparés lorsqu’ils y seront confrontés.

Customer Acquisition & Retention Process

The intern will be assisting the partner organization in setting up strategies to find and recruit customers. This will include researching direct to consumer marketing strategies as well as setting up the back end processes to create a good shopping experience. The intern will spend the first half of her internship leveraging her analytics skills to pinpoint the target consumers and also to find the right methods to reach these consumers. She will then optimize and scale these strategies. In the second half of the internship she will leverage her operations experience to determine the best scalable solution for production. This will involve creating a system between the consumer’s online order, the manufacturing facility, and then the delivery to the consumer’s door. These two major projects will help the partner organization by setting up the systems necessary to have a successful launch the organization’s first product online.

Student Support for Youth Employment Services

Youth Employment Services (YES) is an organization that delivers inclusive, low-barrier employment and training services to Manitoba youth between the ages of 16 to 29.YES provides one-on-one appointments for resume and cover letter writing, job searching, practicing interview skills, and more, in addition to offering free training and certification opportunities. YES is also heavily involved in conducting educational outreach with local high schools and community organizations across Manitoba, hosting comprehensive workshops focusing on employability, career development, succeeding in the workplace, and more.Through this program, YES will be updating the Work Experience Program Guide, which highlights opportunities in Winnipeg for youth of various backgrounds (high school students, EIA clients, Indigenous youth, newcomers, French-speakers, and more) to gain valuable skills and experience.

A Reconciliation Plan for WestEnd Commons

This Project is a partnership between 1JustCity and WestEnd Commons. 1JustCity is an organization committed to strengthening and sustaining social justice work throughout Winnipeg by backing member organizations and community partners. WestEnd Commons also known as St. Matthews Non-Profit Housing Inc. (SMNPH) is a unique newly renovated church building with 26 residential units upstairs and a Neighbourhood Resource Centre (NRC) on the lower level. The NRC is home to a number of agencies and programs. The centre also provides meeting rooms and a commercial kitchen to casual and long-term renters. WestEnd Commons works towards the best possible future for all residents by creating a collaborative community of hope, joy and strength in West Central Winnipeg based on mutual support, dialogue and caring. Given that 50% of the tenants are Indigenous people, including kids, the elderly, persons, with physical and/or mental health issues and LGBTQ people, this internship aims to grow efforts to create cultural awareness. Specifically, the intern should create educational materials to embrace reconciliation and support the organization in overcoming existing gaps. The three main objectives of this project are (1) research and analysis, (2) policy and material creation, and (3) community relationship building. In terms of research and

Capacity Management and Burnout Prevention Assessment

The primary objective of this project is to create an improved Capacity Management Assessment that will detect and prevent burnout for different industries and customer segments (i.e., Corporate, Entrepreneurs, Post-Secondary and Medical field) by September 2022.

While current literature focuses on pinpointing sources of burnout, environments in which this occurs, and even assessment tools to measure it, there are no assessments that measure an individual’s capacity for taking on new initiatives and projects while linking individuals to resources that support improvement in self-awareness and, by extension, self-management.

The assessment will be and immersive and comprehensive experience to provide guidance on how to optimize capacity within each of the 4 existing states while guiding them towards the appropriate next steps, tools and resources.

Bangerooo BSI

Bangerooo is currently focusing on building a Play to Earn (P2E) video game, 3mon, and a gaming metaverse, 3land on the Solana Blockchain. During his time involved with the project, Cameron will focus on creating a competitor analysis of other P2E games in the ecosystem, developing our tokenomics and in game economy, outreach and partnerships and writing our game’s whitepaper.

The partner organization is very strong on the development and art side, while we lack team members with skills to develop the business side of our game. Cameron has a Masters in Management Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MMIE) and has technical training to help us in these areas.

Development of Replacement Heat Exchanger using Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace Application

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is seeing continued industrial uptake, with the aerospace sector representing one of the early adopters and largest growth areas. The design freedom offered by AM is being leveraged to develop advanced heat exchangers with highly complex internal features. This project will focus on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of AlSi10Mg, with emphasis on developing a one-for-one replacement heat exchanger for an aeroengine, exploiting the design capability of the technology. Initial printing will be completed on a research platform, establishing material performance and select geometric features, which will be transitioned to an industrial system where a functional prototype will be produced. Bench testing of the traditional component and AM optimized part will be completed to show direct comparison and performance gains achieved.

Evaluation of the impact of dairy food consumption on the incidence of CVD and osteoporosis and patterns of dairy food consumption among Canadians with CVD and/or osteoporosis

The new Canada’s Food Guide has created controversies about milk and alternatives consumption by removing it as a stand-alone food group. Recent evidence shows an inverse relationship between consumption of dairy products and risk of osteoporosis. However, evidence on the association between milk and dairy consumption and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have provided inconsistent and even conflicting results. To address this knowledge gap, we aim to review the existing evidence in the literature to provide more strong evidence on the association between dairy food consumption and CVD and osteoporosis. We will then provide information on the consumption of various kinds of dairy products by age and sex groups using data from Canadian surveys. The interns will work closely with Dairy Farmers of Canada both throughout the project and at the knowledge translation stage, in which the scientific findings will be converted into infographics and information useful to the partner organization.
