Learning was made fun on October 22 in Greater Sudbury as more than 350 English and French high school students participated in Mine Opportunity Challenge.
Held at Laurentian University, the annual competition is a part of Sudbury Mining Week.
The board game is a cross between Monopoly and Amazing Race, where teams answer questions and complete challenges by speaking with representatives from 24 exhibiting companies and school departments located at booths around the game’s location.
There is a huge focus on mining, technology, engineering, geoscience, the environment and trades.
“So that they can learn not only what career paths are available to them, but also about the modern mining technologies and the modern mining environmental rules, engagement with the communities,” said Nicole Tardif, chair of Sudbury Mining Week.
