On August 13, The Knowledge Society (TKS), a Toronto-based innovation program for youth ages 13 to 17, will host the INNOVATE conference. Taking place at the Corus Entertainment Complex, INNOVATE will bring together 500 Canadian students who are interested in learning how to find and solve critical problems facing society today. The conference will give attendees the chance to hear from senior government officials, CEOs, and tech investors about the latest trends in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, genetic engineering, financial markets, Internet of Things, robotics, and venture capital. "We need to encourage students to start creating the world they want to live in." "We have seen the power of youth first-hand at TKS, and believe that they are vastly underestimated," said Navid Nathoo, co-founder and executive director at TKS. "The best way to predict the future is to create it, and we need to encourage students to start creating the world they want to live in."
