Over the past two months, we’ve been celebrating Canada’s brightest young minds with rolling region-by-region announcements of this year’s Ingenious+ winners. These remarkable 14-18-year-olds stood out nationwide for their groundbreaking innovation projects, and celebrations were held in each region to honour their changemaking impact in their communities.
Meet some of these brilliant innovators
Each Regional Winner receives $1,000 plus networking and mentorship opportunities to take their innovations to the next level. Finalists will be selected from each region to advance to the national stage of the challenge. Check out the stories below to learn more about the projects in each region.
From coast to coast to coast, these inspiring young innovators amazed us with their bold ideas and real-world impact. Stay tuned for the Ingenious+ National Award Ceremony being help during Canadian Innovation Week on May 28th, 2025.
A special thank you
We extend our warm thank you to the Lieutenant Governors across Canada who generously hosted and supported our regional celebrations. Their dedication to youth and innovation helped make each event a memorable experience for all involved.
