The Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) invites ambitious women-identified individuals, including two-spirit, transgender and non-binary high-school students who are curious about entrepreneurship, technology, or science-based innovation, to apply for the opportunity to observe one of our high-impact venture sessions. Each student will have the opportunity to learn, in a hands-on way, about the world of science and technology-based entrepreneurship. Accepted students are invited to attend one of the CDL’s Session days, where they are matched with a CDL Fellow or Associate (their mentor) whom they will shadow for the day. Mentors include John Risley (Chairman & CEO, Clearwater Fine Foods Inc. ), Shelley King (CEO, Natural Products Canada), Carolyn O’Keefe (Owner, Thinkwell Research + Strategy) and others. In addition, students accepted into the program will have the opportunity to attend an online educational module specializing in cancer.
