Learning Opportunities

Ten Peaks Innovation Teacher Conference (10PITC) is a hybrid, multi-day conference held in Banff for teachers on May 14 and 15th. The conference permits a rich interchange and discussion between Canada's teachers (K-12), leaders in industry, government, non-government organizations, indigenous and the scientific community for the latest collective intelligence around energy, environment and climate. The conference supports teachers as they add excellent energy, environmental and climate education programs to enrich their knowledge that can be readily transferred to their students.  

We kicked off our speaker and sponsorship drive in October and we are looking for supporters that are passionate about education.   Organizations and companies that are talking the talk and walking the walk – creating alternative energy sources, setting net zero goals, focusing on the environment and taking action to make it happen.   Leaders in the Energy transition.   Goals are important but taking action speaks so much louder and this conference will give the opportunity for our teachers to hear more about it.   More information can be found on our website www.10Peaks.ca.

Please be aware that sessions at this event will be recorded.
