About the Developer

  

 

Michael Mak is a Bachelor of Health Science Student in the Global Health Specialization from McMaster University.  He is also part of the One Laptop Per Child project, an international program that seeks to provide the world’s poorest children with rugged, low cost, low power connected laptop to create self-empowered learning and connectivity.  With the determined belief that education is the key social determinant for health, Michael with Keeywatinook Okimakanak (Northern Chiefs), K-NET and the Kwayaciiwin Education Resource Center created the ELDER project in hope to not only provide greater educational opportunities for students in remote and rural communities, but to also make learning more interactive and most of all enjoyable for students across Canada.
