Jordan Gardiner, Project Coordinator, SURGE Innovation Sandbox, Dalhousie University
Jordan shares her experience in inspiring innovation, adding entrepreneurial skills to her natural science background, and the power of hiring a creative thinker.
"Innovation to me is taking a problem and flipping it on its head to find a creative solution. It involves creativity, problem-solving and taking the chance to get it wrong, but not letting that stop you."
Tia Olynyk, pursuing a Minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (E&I), Dalhousie University
Tia, student at Dalhousie University, shares why a minor in E&I was the perfect pairing for her Major in Economics.
"In trying to overcome real-world problems, people must learn to work in teams, pitch their ideas, adapt to change and be open to feedback. Pursuing E&I at university provided me with a supportive space to fail and grow while developing these skills."
