OTTAWA, ON, May 25, 2022 – Ingenium is thrilled to recognize five inspirational youth who have made positive changes in their community using science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).

The winners of the 2022 Ingenium-NSERC STEAM Horizon Awards are:

  • Ispeeta Ahmed - Antigonish, Nova Scotia
  • Sarvnaz Ale Mohammad - Richmond Hill, Ontario
  • Jaityn LaBelle - Calgary, Alberta
  • Kiana Mercredi - Winnipeg, Manitoba
  • Avery Parkinson - Ottawa, Ontario

Full profiles on the award winners can be found here.

From mentoring others in robotics, to authoring research papers on environmental issues, or developing nationally-recognized science fair projects, these teens are innovators and leaders.

The Ingenium-NSERC STEAM Horizon Awards help set the stage for a new generation of Canadian innovators to excel in the STEAM fields. Each winner in the national prize program is awarded $25,000 to go towards their post-secondary education in a STEAM field at a Canadian university, college or CÉGEP. Two of these awards are exclusively given to Indigenous students.

These awards are made possible by a consortium of partners, including the Ingenium Foundation, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Indspire, Lockheed Martin, and Syncrude.
