Start with a summer camp designed and created by innovation experts. The Big Ideas: Creativity, Design and Innovation Camp engaged 450 youth across southern Ontario—from Hamilton, to Toronto, to Ottawa—this past summer. The camps were developed and run by the Institute for Competitiveness and Prosperity (ICP), the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and Actua, a national charity that engages youth in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education). The camp, which provided youth with an in-depth experience in innovation and understanding of the business of science and engineering, used a curriculum which follows the core elements of the innovation process currently taught at the Rotman School of Management.
