In addition to equipment and software support, we also offer, 

  • drone training and certification
  • extra-curricular events, including guest speakers, industry demos, and youth programs

Connecting capstone groups with peers and industry

The Connector Lab is also a great space to work on capstone projects and network with other capstone groups from different classes and schools across SAIT. 

We also work closely with industry partners who assist us in mentoring students and faculty. We also provide working job site access for data collection and investigation.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
