On Wednesday, September 13, 2024, the Indigenous Futures Research Centre co-hosted Danielle Boyer alongside the Just Feminist Technology and Scholarship Lab to bring a virtual artist talk on Indigenous robotics.  

Ojibwe, queer robotics inventor Danielle Boyer spoke about her work, including the invention of the SkoBot, a robot that teaches the Indigenous languages Navajo, Ojibwemowin, and Taino. The robot, aimed at middle school children, is customizable and easily programmable for youth.  

This event was part of the 5th season of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum.
