Creators

When we started developing this program, we discovered that many students at Chaminade University had their own ideas and aspirations for creating innovations to address the SDGs. Therefore, we created the 'Creators' pathway, where students can dream, design, and develop their own innovations and entrepreneurial journeys, while the program equips them with the necessary mentors, tools, and knowledge along the way.
