Innovate Eastman Youth Innovation Program
Innovate Eastman partnered with an International school to launch a two week youth innovation program. Students had the opportunity to explore different innovation based topics during the program to develop their creativity and innovation capacity. The contents of the program include a Innovate Eastman Fab Lab tour to get exposure to different machines for product prototyping such as 3D Printers, laser printers, metal machines, craft machines, CNC wood machines, robotic training & programing, outdoor activities, entrepreneurship & business workshops, and team projects. During the program, students were able to gain an understanding of our Canadian culture, exchanged ideas, developed problem solving skill sets, and enjoyed Canadian style outdoor activities. During the program Blair Skinner, Innovate Eastman board member and Pinawa Mayor, and Shane Li, Innovate Eastman President, organized the program and attended the closing ceremony of the program.
