Le tremplin canadien pour les innovateurs de demain
Shad is a month-long summer program where Canada’s top high school students don’t just learn about the future. They start building it.
Through hands-on challenges in areas like artificial intelligence, energy, and food security, students develop the skills, confidence, and creative instincts to tackle problems that matter. STEAM learning meets entrepreneurial thinking, and curiosity meets real stakes, all in an environment designed to push students further than they thought they could go.
The result: young people who leave not just prepared for the future, but ready to shape it.

Nous savons que la diversité est importante. C'est pourquoi nous créons chez Shad une communauté motivée.
“At Shad students collaborate and build meaningful relationships outside of their hometown. Each campus, and each design team, has a mix of rural and urban participants from diverse economic backgrounds. Students learn the value of their own perspective and the differing perspectives of those around them.
La communauté va au-delà de la diversité et exige l'inclusion. Nous nous efforçons d'atteindre les étudiants des communautés noires, indigènes et 2SLGBTQIA+, ainsi que les étudiants handicapés qui sont traditionnellement sous-représentés. Nous veillons à ce qu'il y ait des perspectives multiples et des forces diverses dans un environnement d'apprentissage sans pareil.
Le partenariat avec Pathways to Education et Black Boys Code et les liens avec les conseils scolaires régionaux, les éducateurs, les conseillers d'orientation, les organisations communautaires et de changement social et les organisations STEM nous aident à recruter des étudiants de toutes les régions du Canada.
25,000+ Shad alumni. One network that never stops opening doors.
From startups to research labs to community organizations, Shad alumni are out there building, discovering, and leading. Meet some of the people in our network who are doing work that matters.
Shad is a registered Canadian charity. Donations support program delivery, student access, and our ability to grow. Every gift helps us bring Shad to more curious, driven students across Canada.
