Plans for the building include a digital recording studio, a kitchen where students can learn about traditional food and nutrition, and even potentially a virtual reality system for trying out different learning environments.

“We’re hoping that our programming can bridge some of the standing gaps of where Indigenous science has been left out in those subjects, and build some interest and pathways for our Alaska Native youth,” said Becca Soza, SHI’s STEAM manager.“It’s going to be a really innovative space where people can come and learn together,” she said.
Teachers from across Southeast Alaska will be able to work with Indigenous instructors to make lesson plans in the new building. Soza said SHI wants to be a regional meeting point for STEAM education for all teachers who serve Southeast Alaska Native students.
