Red Deer Polytechnic has signed an MOU with Shad Canada, an organization that provides summer enrichment STEAM programs for high school students. Through the partnership, high school students from various backgrounds will participate in activities such as guest speakers, STEAM workshops, and business and mentorship sessions. The program’s hands-on activities aim to foster real-world skills such as teamwork and creativity. “These unique experiences will help inspire the next generation of leaders to pursue careers in STEAM, contributing to the economic and social development of Alberta and Canada,” said RDP VP, Academic and Student Experience Lindsay Engel. RDP says it is the first polytechnic to sign an MOU with Shad Canada.
