Shad Canada

You don’t need to feel ready to begin.
At Shad, growth often starts with one brave attempt, one new challenge, one moment of trying anyway.

Some summers end. The people, lessons, and confidence you find at Shad stay with you.

Congratulations, Shrey! 🙌
We’re excited to welcome you to Shad this summer and see where your curiosity, leadership, and ideas take you.

🎉Congratulations to Shrey Desai, a student from Saugeen District Senior School, who has been accepted into Shad Canada, a nationally recognized, competitive program supporting Canadian youth in STEAM, entrepreneurship, and career exploration! Selected through a rigorous application process, Shrey will spend one month at a Canadian post-secondary institution this summer.

❓We asked Shrey about the decision to pursue this opportunity:

1️⃣ What led to your decision to apply for this program?
I decided to apply to the Shad program because I have always been interested in innovation, leadership, and STEM related fields. I was excited by the opportunity to meet motivated students from across Canada, challenge myself academically, and experience hands-on learning outside of the regular classroom environment.

2️⃣ What are you hoping to learn through this opportunity?
Through this opportunity, I am hoping to strengthen my problem solving, leadership, and collaboration skills while learning more about entrepreneurship, technology, and real-world applications of STEM. I am also excited to build connections with other students, mentors, and professionals from across Canada and expand my network through the program.

3️⃣ What career pathway(s) are you hoping to pursue?
I am currently interested in pursuing a career in engineering or business. I hope this experience will help me explore these fields further and gain a better understanding of the opportunities available within them.

Good luck and best wishes to Shrey on such an exciting accomplishment!! 👏
