Iron Fox Games (IFG) is presently a 23-person work-for-hire studio built on decades of experience making mobile games with the world’s biggest brands (The Simpsons, Marvel, Disney, Hasbro, and Star Wars). IFG is also quietly building up it’s own IP (code named Project PETS) for eventual release, either independently or with the help of a […]

Climate change, extreme weather events, and irregular rainfall patterns have made it inevitable to supplement irrigation needs in rainfed regions such as Prince Edward Island (PEI). This study aims to develop variable rate irrigation (VRI) system to supplement crop water requirements on a need basis for crops in PEI. This project will develop, implement, and […]

In an effort to reach zero waste in Canada by 2030, this work is dedicated to the discovery of microbes with enzymatic capabilities to biodegrade plastic. A library of microbes (bacteria and fungi) isolated from a range of marine environments will be screened for unique and novel plastic biodegrading activities. Preferred microbes will be selected […]

The proposed research project seeks to explore the application of foam-like inserts to improve the shelf life of commonly used proteins. Many commercial proteins are used in a variety of applications such as food production, pharmaceuticals, and scientific research. These proteins must be stored at sub-zero temperatures as they are prone to degradation at higher […]

The number of students requiring special education support in middle and high schools across Canada continue to rise, but teachers are challenged in implementing accommodations within students’ individual education plans due to large class sizes, limited time and lack of resources. Therefore, the objective of this project is to develop a prototype of a holistic […]

People with Intellectual Disability (ID) experience higher rates of mental health disorders compared to the general population and yet access services to a lesser degree. The present project will begin to address the lack of access to mental health services by providing a resource designed to enhance mental health literacy, and provide validated self-management strategies […]

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) it is an immunochemical test that utilizes an enzyme (a protein that facilitates a biochemical reaction) and an antibody or antigen (immunologic molecules) to detect and quantify specific substances in a biological solution. The development of an ELISA protocol presents several challenges, however. For example, ELISA technology currently is developed largely […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Non-profit organizations play an increasingly important role in rural regions. Yet, these organizations are chronically lacking in capacity, including being both understaffed and underfinanced, as well as having high turnover rates and loss of institutional memory as a result. This research project aims to explore how non-profit organizations and charities in rural communities deliver their […]

This project aims to design, develop, and deploy a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Patient Queuing System in the Ambulatory Care Department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Charlottetown, PE. This work will develop and test a prototype which then be used to help further discovery potentially leading to more efficient resource allocation.

Canadian salmon production is the fourth largest farmed salmon industry in the world. Farmed salmon is British Columbia’s (BC) largest agri-food export with a total economic output of $1.6 billion annually, which represents 60% of total production in Canada. Approximately, 90,000 tonnes of farmed salmon are produced in BC every year which in turn supports […]

There is an increase in reporting of angling activities linked to environmental pollution and exploitation. Soft plastic lures (SPLs) are a major pollution source arising from recreational angling. A small portion of SPLs currently commercially available are designed to be more environmentally friendly alternatives to PVC as they are biodegradable and are manufactured using natural […]
