What is Innomasters?
Innomasters is a semester-long mentorship initiative designed to introduce Toronto high school students to engineering design concepts. Over the span of 4 months, participants will engage in 6 biweekly, 2-hour workshops to learn about the engineering design process and apply these skills to a project of their own choosing based on the UN Sustainability Goals of “Good Health and Wellbeing” and “Quality Education”. The program culminates in a Design Showcase, where students will present their work.
