Back from
the winter break and ready to build what’s
next.
|
As we
step into a new year, we’re taking a moment to
reflect and reset after the winter break.
January marks a quieter start, but also an
exciting time to look ahead and prepare for
what’s coming next.
In this
short January edition of
InnovationNews, we’re sharing a few
updates as we gear up for new programming and
initiatives in the months ahead. Our team is
already preparing for the Brilliant Blue
National Challenge 2026, launching
this April, which will invite
students across Canada to collaborate and design
innovative solutions for ocean sustainability.
We’re grateful for the
continued support of our educators, partners,
and funders, including the Government of Canada
through the CanCode program. We
look forward to reconnecting and sharing more as
the year unfolds.
