"The Youth Skills Development Scholarship from SCWIST changed my life. I created COAST, a computer mouse that enables people with upper limb disabilities to access computer technologies, which won 4 awards, including the Gold award and Best Young Inventor at the International Innovation Competition in Canada. Not only did my dreams come true, but I was able to showcase my invention to a wider audience and pursue my mission of promoting accessibility and inclusivity in technology!"

"SCWIST has been such an incredible organization and supporter of my scientific journey. With the Youth Skills Development scholarship, I was able to attend SHAD Canada, a month-long leadership, entrepreneurship, and STEM development program for youth at the University of Prince Edward Island. I was absolutely honoured to be a Quantum Leaps speaker in March 2023 to “pay it back” and help inspire other young girls in science."
