STRONGER COMMUNITIES
BRIGHTER FUTURES
Blackmore Technology Group Limited believes that giving back to the communities where we live and operate is part of our responsibility. We aim to contribute our time, expertise and resources to opportunities that help local people grow, create and succeed.
OUR COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
Youth development
Help young people discover what they can build, not just what they can consume.
Volunteering
Encourage participation through time, mentoring and community partnerships.
Real-world skills
Turn curiosity into hands-on project experience and creative confidence.
Stronger Boundary region
Contribute to a more capable, resilient and connected local community.
BOUNDARY TECH GENERATION · PROPOSED YOUTH INITIATIVE
TURNING INTEREST INTO OPPORTUNITY
Children already love video games, apps and robots. We want to help them learn to build those things themselves — from their first idea to a finished project they can proudly show their family.
Boundary Tech Generation is a proposed BTG-supported community programme for Boundary Country, British Columbia. The proposed eight-session pathways cover game creation, apps, low-voltage robotics and inventions at four age levels for ages 6–17. The blueprint calls for supervised hands-on projects, private family demonstrations, guardian-controlled sharing, accessibility, volunteer screening and no use of child projects in BTG Bridge, FarmNodes or Exchange. Venue, volunteers, insurance and enrolment remain unconfirmed.
EXPLORE THE LEARNING LEVELSREAL PROJECTS · REAL SKILLS
BUILD SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN
Each workshop works toward a usable creation, not simply completing a demonstration.
Game Development
Build your own video game
Create characters, gameplay, levels and sounds — then let family and friends play it.
App Creation
Create your own app
Design screens, make buttons function, build features and test an app that solves a real problem.
Robotics & Engineering
Build and program a robot
Assemble, wire and code a robot to move, follow instructions and solve physical challenges.
Electronics & Invention
Invent something useful
Build a sensor, alarm, mini weather station or another practical creation from an original idea.

FOUR AGE-APPROPRIATE LEARNING LEVELS
THE SAME CURIOSITY. DIFFERENT STARTING POINTS.
Learning activities are adapted for ages 6–8, 9–11, 12–14 and 15–17. Age is a recommended starting point, not a ceiling: individual experience and accessibility needs guide every project.
LEVEL 01
Little Creators
Ages 6–8Visual blocks, playful storytelling, animations, simple coding and hands-on exploration.
PROJECT OUTCOMEMake a character move, a simple game or an electronic light react.
EXPLORE LEVEL 1 WORKSHOPS →LEVEL 02
Young Builders
Ages 9–11Multi-level games, beginner app interfaces, sensors and programmable robots.
PROJECT OUTCOMEFinish a playable game, interactive app or working robot.
EXPLORE LEVEL 2 WORKSHOPS →LEVEL 03
Junior Developers
Ages 12–14Game engines, beginning written code, software testing, robots and electronics.
PROJECT OUTCOMEBuild a more advanced working game, app or robotics project.
EXPLORE LEVEL 3 WORKSHOPS →LEVEL 04
Youth Innovators
Ages 15–17Independent software projects, robotics design, AI literacy, 3D creation and deployment.
PROJECT OUTCOMETest, document and present an independently designed technology project.
EXPLORE LEVEL 4 WORKSHOPS →Designed for real outcomes. An early learner might build a star-collecting game. An older participant might create a multi-level game with original mechanics, debugging and an exportable build. Both have accomplished a project appropriate to their abilities.
NEW · BOUNDARY TECH GENERATION SOFTWARE
BTG Builder — build, connect and program
BTG Builder is our developing digital Building Truss Grid construction environment. Young people work with correctly modelled beams, connectors and mechanisms to construct 3D kits and original Free Build projects, then progress toward wiring, programming and operating simulated machines in one Grand Forks-area BTG World.
The C6 crane, scalable world grids and Free Build are central to development. The full crane commissioning workflow and iOS release are still in engineering, not launched products.
A COMMITMENT THAT GOES FURTHER
PEOPLE MAKE STRONGER PLACES
Giving back is a high priority for Blackmore Technology Group. We believe success should be measured not only by the technologies we develop, but by the positive difference we help make in the places we call home.
That includes volunteering, sharing practical skills, supporting local causes, encouraging mentors and collaborating with community organizations. Our youth technology initiative is one proposed expression of that wider commitment.

Interested in supporting Boundary Tech Generation?
We welcome conversations with educators, youth organizations, parents, skilled volunteers and community partners. The programme is being planned; workshop registration, dates, venues and formal partnerships have not yet been announced.
Workshop and community images are illustrative promotional artwork, not photographs of an operating programme or enrolled children. Volunteer activity and programme partnerships described here are priorities and proposals; specific commitments will be announced when confirmed.
Images are photorealistic conceptual illustrations of the planned Boundary Tech Generation workshops, not photographs of actual BTG participants or delivered sessions.
