Kevin Xu

Hi there!  My name is Kevin, and I am the STEM Outreach Coordinator in Inuvik.  I bring nine years of experience as a science and math teacher, alongside a background as a K–12 vice-principal and special education teacher.  I have lived and worked across the North for the past 12 years—with time spent in Resolute, NU, and Fort Nelson, BC, before settling here in Inuvik, NT.  My education background is also paired with on-the-land field experience.  I have worked as a Wildlife Technician with the GNWT’s Department of Environment and Climate Change (ECC) and as a Resource Conservation Officer with Parks Canada’s Western Arctic Field Unit (WAFU).  From collaring caribou for population surveys to conducting ecological integrity monitoring throughout the Beaufort Delta region and local National Parks, I love bringing real-world northern science directly to STEM education.  I look forward to connecting with the communities and creating engaging, locally relevant STEM opportunities for our youth.
