HYTE - Horizons Youth Tech Entrepreneurship
Education
Expand your Horizons | Tech Entrepreneurship Program for High School Students | Compete for a $1000 Scholarship
About us
HYTE is a tech entrepreneurship program, founded by Yasmin Dibai and funded by the BC Scholarship Society, where students will learn the pillars of initiating their own tech venture, and compete for a $1000 scholarship. In HYTE, students will learn about the basics of technology, entrepreneurship and how to combine the two. Students will learn the pillars of initiating their own start-up, from industry professionals who are leading the industry today, and then compete for a $1000 scholarship with their team. Students will also participate in workshops, seminars, interactive activities, group work and more. Students will work with university professors and industry professionals throughout their project, which is an opportunity that not many high school students get. Since the pandemic, students' university applications struggle to stand out to admissions, as they have become repetitive and expectations have increases. Through HYTE, students are demonstrating key traits such as leadership, initiative, the starting and completing of a technical project, as well as the chance to win a scholarship and other awards for our exceptional students. These are all characteristics that universities look for when assessing personal portfolios. In all, this program will allow students to experience the inside scoop of the tech industry and business/entrepreneurship, before graduating high school. The HYTE Spring Set is now full, but the application for the Sustainability Stream of HYTE is now open (starting end of March): https://forms.gle/AFph1pDkMmHn5RbdA

Thank you for having our founder on the panel! It was great to discuss sustainability at the post-secondary level!
Brand Ambassador at Inventa Sales and Promotion | In the Bachelor of Business Administration Program at Capilano University | Concentrating in Marketing
🌍 Reflecting on #SDGWeek earlier in March! Environmental education is key to building a sustainable future. At Enactus Capilano University, we hosted a powerful panel discussion on the Need for Environmental Education, featuring inspiring advocates like Jane Raycraft, Cheryl Schreader, Pankaj Bagga, and Yasmin Dibai. Their insights truly emphasized the importance of integrating sustainability into high school teaching. Events like these remind us of the crucial role education plays in shaping our future leaders. Together, we're empowering youth to make a positive impact on their communities through initiatives like GreenBlog, encouraging youth to take on entrepreneurial endeavors to aid community problems. A big thank you to Roy Jantzen for collaborating with us. Gratitude to Raymond A., and Jason Lau for supporting our Sustainability Team! Let's keep the momentum going! 💛 💙 #Enactus #Sustainability #Education #Entrepreneurship #EnvironmentalEducation #YouthEmpowerment #SDGWeek

Over the past few years, I've been volunteering with Global Spark 💡 , a nonprofit led by students and young professionals, designed to empower students from all fields of study to tackle social impact and global development challenges. This year I joined the marketing team and we managed to boost applications to our flagship event, #HacktheGlobe by 30% and welcome 260+ participants from 25 countries and 65 schools. 🎉 My favourite part of the event was mentoring the hacker teams during office hours with Grand Challenges Canada, pulling from my background in social impact & innovation consulting. The best part is, we are growing! 📈 If you're interested in supporting Global Spark as volunteer in London, Toronto or beyond apply below ⬇️: https://lnkd.in/dAgW5AQG If you'd like to join our fantastic list of partners, please reach out!
