His project won the 2022 Youth Innovation Showcase with a $5,000 award attached to continue development. During the event in Ottawa, he was inspired meeting and chatting with people like Christian Bagge, who revolutionized the wheelchair to allow users to rejoin activities. Coming from a small Saanich school, competing against students from massive schools worldwide was an “amazing experience.”
