In 1969, two researchers gave more than one thousand kids the same test NASA uses to measure creativity.
What they found was shocking.
It didn’t just reveal how creativity works — it showed how we lose it.
Today I was proud to participate in the Trades and Technologies Summit at NAIT and highlight the important work Alberta’s government is doing to support students in high-demand programs.
Technology and skilled trades are playing an increasingly important role in our economy. Students with qualifications in these fields are well positioned to succeed in the economy of tomorrow.
Thank you to TAVE for hosting and to all the participants who came out to show their support for students and help us solve challenges in our workforce.
@SandraRenee_@NicholasFerroni@usedgov@dcpublicschools@HowardU Congrats. I’m from Alberta, Canada, and we recently received $1.5 million to further put in place mental health supports. I’d love to connect and look further into how you are going to provide supports in your district.

Her name's Katya, she's 20. One of the last defenders of #Mariupol at "Azovstal". Singing a 🇺🇦 patriotic song, written in 1929. The first lines are:
"We were born in a great hour
From the fires of war and the flames of gunshots
We were nurtured by the pain of losing Ukraine..."
Rise and shine! Today is #BellLetsTalk Day! Skip the snooze button this morning and join the conversation to help drive Bell donations for mental health initiatives in Canada!
