What is Changemaker?
Do you want to stand in front of the world and prove your ideas are valuable? Changemaker offers a dynamic experiential learning environment which will give you the real-life tools and skills you need, and help you define what social innovation means to you. Sessions within the program are delivered by inspiring guest speakers from Carleton and Ottawa ecosystems. Some of the learning outcomes may include:
- Communication
- Critical Thinking
- Knowledge
Why Join Changemaker?
In addition to the valuable learning experience, the connections you will make, and the support you will receive, students enrolled in an Innovation Hub program will also receive a certificate upon completion. Each program challenges students in new ways and pushes them to develop specific skillsets. There’s no limit for how many programs you can complete, and we encourage passionate individuals who are willing to work hard to join any program when they are ready. Visit the Hub and speak to our team to determine which program is right for you.
