"What's truly inspiring about this program is that you're surrounded by passionate individuals, each harbouring their unique flame of creativity, all working on diverse projects. This collaborative environment not only boosts your confidence but also equips you with the skills to articulate your ideas clearly and effectively." - Polina Holub, Environmental Engineering student and Changemakers spring '23 participant.
