Events

ShiftKey and IEEE Canadian Atlantic are pleased to present Trash to Tech with Dr. Christine Farion!! Join us! No experience necessary – this is a fun event for all ages This event isn’t just about creativity—it’s about rethinking waste and pushing the boundaries of technology. Bubble wrap is often discarded after a single use, but we’re transforming it into functional fabric with electronics and conductive materials to create interactive designs. It’s an opportunity to learn, experiment, and make sustainability fun while exploring the intersection of fashion, tech, and environmental responsibility. Participating in this event means championing innovation while tackling real-world problems like waste management and sustainable materials. Whether you’re into electronics, DIY projects, fashion, or eco-conscious design, this is your chance to be part of a movement that proves recycling can be creative, stylish, and cutting-edge. Let’s electrify sustainability together! Please bring your own bubble wrap too (if you have it)!
