katie wang
university of toronto schools While our school is being renovated, students have been relocated to a small building that lacks the homeliness and comfort of the old building. With 1UP, I hope to somewhat restore the integrity of the old UTS building using design and public space in our temporary home. I enjoy painting, walking my dog, and travelling. |
kelly qu

nic penagos juando
EARL HAIG SECONDARY SCHOOL Earl Haig is a certified eco-school. With nearly 3000 students, we do not have a composting service and are not very aware of our overall footprint. You may imagine how much food waste is produced daily at our school, so I will develop composting options and pickup arrangements. I will also look to develop opportunities to spread information and awareness about our ecological impact as a school community, including our carbon footprint. Our use of paper may benefit from a sourcing change (sustainable, responsible sources) as well! I love raising awareness, acting and taking action, and being present every moment. |
vansh juneja
william lyon mackenzie collegiate institute This year through 1UP, I hope to transform my school’s complaints and calls for change in our outdoor space into real planning and action. In my downtime, I like to involve myself in things that interest me. Whether they be the stock market, machine learning, or in this case, urban planning. |
shreya garg
harold M. brathwaite Secondary school Harold M. Brathwaite is a school which offers multiple programs for students to take apart, including the IB Program, SHSM Law, and SHSM Business. Although this provides the students of HB with multiple sources to activate their learning, the school lacks an effective outlet where they can successfully relieve their stress. Through the 1UP chapter, I plan to create a Wellness Center in the school where students can sign up to relax and destress during hectic occasions, providing the ultimate solution to this problem. I love music, photography, and exploring the depths of my abilities to better my community. |
