Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF) has partnered with the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CST), one of Canada’s largest and oldest education savings providers, to tell the stories of successful Canadian innovators and students who are showing resilience, providing hope and making successful positive impacts as we prepare for a future of unknowns. Through a six part video series, we’ll celebrate the achievements of past CST Graduate Award recipients, who are following in the footsteps of Governor General’s Innovation Award laureates. Focused on using innovation for social good, we call this group Inspired Innovators.
Having an innovative mindset is critical. Today’s students will need to be prepared for rapid innovation in an evolving world. In a world of constant change, innovation is the key to success. It makes the impossible possible and inspires us to dream big and defy the odds. When we think of our own nation, Canadians have made enormous contributions to our country and our world. But innovation is more pervasive in our daily lives than most people realize.
The Inspired Innovators series tells the stories of some of Canada’s successful innovators and the students who are following in their footsteps as they prepare themselves for a world that cannot clearly be defined. Watch as they share the key skills they believe are important to navigate this ever-changing world where learning and innovation go hand in hand.
Follow along as we share more about the Inspired Innovators and the 21st century skills they are using to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving world. Follow @CSTConsultants and @CSTspark to learn more about the Inspired Innovators series.
