Student teams are working together to address real-world challenges during the Canadore Innovation Challenge on Tuesday.
The event features interactive workshops, a trade show, and students pitching their innovative solutions to a panel of expert judges.
Teams will focus on creating solutions in the following five key areas:
- Affordable Housing
- Community Revitalization and Sustainable Development
- Food Security
- Health Challenges and AI
- Mobilizing Clean Water
“We are bringing bright minds, incredible leaders, and agitators together to find uncommon solutions to common challenges,” says Shawn Chorney, Vice President Strategic Infrastructure, Indigenous and Learner Services.
Officials say the event is designed to promote innovative thinking while addressing key issues that impact sustainability and development in Northern Ontario communities.
Winning teams for each category will receive $5,000 and post-event support to develop full business plan proposals.
