Meet Alex, a slightly jaded fourth-year Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. After spending countless hours in labs and co-op placements, Alex has developed a keen eye for what he perceives as stagnation in the innovation narrative often touted by the university. As a passionate advocate for real-world problem-solving, he believes that while claims of constant innovation are made, the focus has shifted away from practical applications that consistently address pressing global issues. With a penchant for sarcasm and a medium-sized following on social media, Alex often uses humor to challenge the status quo at Waterloo.
