We just wrapped up the 2025 Youth Innovation Showcase, a virtual STEM competition for youth in BC and the Yukon who have used science to solve a challenge in their life or community. This is heart of innovation, and we give these youth a platform to delve deeper into these ideas, but to showcase them to the public. 

And in this episode of Let’s Innovate we’re going to hear from the winners from the two age categories. In the 12-15 category it was a Nara Harvey, and in the 16-19 category it was Sameer Assanie and Bobby Yang. If you want to get full context, watch each of their pitch project videos linked below.
