POST #79: SHAD CANADA

Posted on by Ishita Jain

Shad Canada promises “the best summer FOR their lives” to grades 10-11 students from all across Canada with an inclination towards STEAM-E, complete with a Design and Entrepreneurship Project, Experiential Learning Opportunities, and Team Building.

I had the pleasure of attending the 2024 ShadAnywhere program this July in partnership with Athabasca University, a fully online post-secondary institution based in Alberta. My experience exceeded the expectations I had, giving me exposure to a wide range of learning material in a multitude of learning styles. Shad has gifted me with the confidence, communication, leadership skills and expansive network I need to take my talents and passions and aim for the stars.

POST #77: CAREER CARNIVAL

Posted on by Ishita Jain

The Central York Leadership Group (CYLG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging high-school students to take on civic roles in their community. On April 20, 2024, the CYLG hosted its first Career Carnival to provide youth with information about potential career pathways while engaging in fun carnival games. As the Event Chair of the CYLG, I conceptualized and structured the event from start to finish. I learned a great deal about formal event planning, and was able to understand the importance of both anticipating situations and taking initiative on the spot.
