Shad Entrance Scholarships for Indigenous Students from the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan – Madilyn Gansauge
Q: Tell us a bit about yourself.
When I’m not at school, working or volunteering, I’m at the gym because fitness is important to me. I love hanging out with my friends, and my two dogs: Carlos and Maui. I used to compete in high-level gymnastics but retired last year.
Q: Why do you want to participate in the Shad program/ What are you most looking forward to?
The Shad program is still new to me, but I am looking forward to stepping out of my comfort zone and learning in a university environment. I am excited to learn new ways to apply this hands-on learning in my everyday life. I’m also excited to meet people to share different views and ways to solve different problems.
Q: What motivates or sparks your curiosity in STEAM and/or entrepreneurship?
What sparks my curiosity in STEAM is that it is based in traditional math and science but is geared toward the future using technology and new ways of creative thinking.
Q: How do you envision your future?
I envision my future being in university in an engineering or architecture program, using what I have learned in the Shad program. After university, I would like to be in the architecture field, being involved in exciting projects.
