-
Recruitment April 2017A new team has been formed, and we are ready to go! Our team is now composed of three high schools: Archbishop MacDonald, Harry Ainlay, and Old Scona Academic. Everyone has yet to meet one another, but we are hoping to hold an entire team meeting soon!

Media and Engineering Mayhem! July 2017This month of July is filled with huge progress from two sections of our team: our outreach section with their fundraising and our engineering section with their hydroponics! We came out with a new segment to introduce our team members, called #HumansofUrbanTundra for our social media handles on Twitter , Instagram, and Facebook .
