Every summer 1,000 trailblazing students spend 27-days at a Canadian university in seminars, labs and hands-on learning. Oh, did we mention Shad is life-altering?
Why Shad?Shad’s signature design project. Design a prototype that solves a social issue in 27-days. Beyond the obvious thrill of this project, some provinces offer a full credit for participating in Shad’s program.
