He’s 14… and Already Building for His Generation

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mercredi 20 mai 2026 • Durée 23:46

What happens when a 14-year-old notices that students around him are overwhelmed… and decides to build a solution instead of just talking about it?

In this episode of GenNext, Ms. Cam sits down with Grade 8 student, chess player, cadet, hackathon participant, and young builder Tanish Dave, creator of Mindful Mirror, an AI-powered app designed to help students manage stress, organize their thoughts, reflect through journaling, and feel more supported.

Tanish shares:

How video games sparked his curiosity for building
What it’s really like to participate in hackathons as a teen
Why he believes students today feel unheard and overwhelmed
How he taught himself to build apps using AI tools
The power of mentors, networking, and just starting before you feel ready
Why young people no longer need to “wait until they’re older” to create something meaningful

This conversation is packed with insight, energy, and a reminder that some of the best ideas start with simply noticing a problem and taking the first step.

🚀 Try This Challenge:

Tanish’s challenge for listeners this week:

Grab a notebook, sticky notes, or your phone and start brainstorming ideas (even silly ones).

Write down:

problems you notice
things that frustrate people
tools you wish existed
ideas you think would make life better

Then narrow your list down to your top 5 ideas.

What Happens When Communities Invest in Young People

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mercredi 6 mai 2026 • Durée 25:22

What if support for your ideas was closer than you think?

In this episode of GenNext, Ms. Cam sits down with April Albano, Executive Director of the Business Education Partnership Waterloo Region and champion behind the Youth Creativity Fund, a program helping young people turn ideas into action.

Together, they talk about:

Why creativity often gets quieter as we get older
How one supportive adult (or local organization) can change a young person’s path
Why young people don’t need to have it all figured out
How the Youth Creativity Fund gives teens money, mentorship, and community to try bold ideas
Why done is better than perfect

This episode is a reminder that you are not alone and there are people, programs, and communities that believe in what you can build.

🚀 Try This Challenge:

This week, notice one thing that annoys you in your day.

It could be:

something at school
something at home
something in your community
something about how people do things

Then spend 5 minutes brainstorming solutions.

No judging your ideas. No pressure for it to be perfect. Just practice seeing problems like a builder.

That’s where entrepreneurship starts.

The Power of Having More Than One Interest | Curious Kids and Bold Teens

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mercredi 22 avril 2026 • Durée 23:03

What if being interested in many things was actually your advantage?

In this episode of GenNext, we talk to Damian—a Grade 12 student who has spent years playing competitive soccer, coaching younger athletes, exploring creativity through drawing and woodworking, and now building a video editing business.

At first glance, these might seem like completely different paths. But as Damian shares his story, a clear pattern emerges: the same skills—creativity, discipline, and curiosity—show up across everything he does.

From seeing details in architecture most people overlook, to applying creativity on the soccer field, to editing videos and building real projects, Damian is a powerful example of what it looks like to develop range instead of choosing just one lane.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt unsure because they have too many interests—not too few.

We talk about:

How creativity shows up in unexpected places (even in soccer)
What competitive sports can teach you about discipline and consistency
Turning school assignments into real opportunities
Why enjoying what you do matters more than being “perfect”
How different interests can actually connect and strengthen each other
Why you don’t need to choose just one path

If you’ve ever felt unsure because you’re interested in too many things… this episode will definitely hit home.

🚀 Try This Challenge:

Pay attention to something today that most people would ignore. It could be a building, a video, a design, or even something in your everyday environment.

These Two Teachers are Breaking the Rules of School (In the Best Way) | Curious Kids and Bold Teens

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mercredi 8 avril 2026 • Durée 31:11

What if school actually prepared you for real life?

In this episode of GenNext, we sit down with two grade seven teachers who are doing things differently and getting incredible results.

Jennifer Schaefer and Jes Nielson are grade seven teachers at Groh Public School in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and long-time teaching partners. They share how they’ve moved away from traditional teaching methods to create a more engaging, student-centered learning experience, one rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and real-world problem solving.

Instead of memorizing content, their students are solving real community challenges, building empathy through real conversations and creating projects with real impact. This isn’t something nice to have “in theory”. It’s what is happening right now in their classroom.

We talk about:

Why traditional lesson planning can hold students back
What “messy learning” actually looks like (and why it works)
How removing tests changes everything
A powerful student-led project supporting newcomers
What the future of education needs to look like

If you’ve ever felt like school could be more, this episode will definitely hit home.

🚀Try This Challenge:

For educators: try one small “quarter turn” in your teaching practice this week. Find one interesting provocation (something real, surprising, or thought-provoking) and bring it into your classroom. Put it in front of your students and simply ask: “What do you think about this?”

Let them talk. Let them wonder. Let them be curious.

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 25 février 2026 • Durée 21:20

Were you the kid who asked “why?” a little too much?

Good news: as annoying you might think that may have been, it was actually the beginning of something big.

In this episode of Gen Next, Ms. Cam sits down with Grade 11 student Dasha Turetska, a curious kid who grew into a teenager who builds, creates and cares deeply about her fellow classmates.

We talk about:

Why asking “why?” is a strength
How building confidence comes from doing

What Happens When Kids Do the Scary Thing | Curious Kids and Bold Teens

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 28 janvier 2026 • Durée 16:55

What does bravery look like when you’re a 9-year old?

In this episode of Gen Next, Ms. Cam talks with three Grade 4 soccer players who went door to door selling poinsettias to raise money for their team. This is something that made their stomachs flip and their hearts race, but they did it anyway.

One girl prepared a script.

Others improvised.

All of them felt nervous.

And that’s the point.

The girls share what it was like to:

Knock on doors when they wanted to run away
Hear “no” and keep going anyway
Use a script (or forget it) and still succeed
Build confidence by finishing what they started
Realize that bravery grows after you take action

They also brainstorm kid-approved ideas for selling, creating, and starting small businesses, and challenge listeners to try something a little scary themselves.

💡 Builder’s Challenge: Make something. Sell something. Or try one brave thing this week—with a script or without one.

Because bravery doesn’t mean you’re fearless.

It means you start anyway.

Three Teens Are Connecting Seniors and Students to Fight Loneliness | Curious Kids and Bold Teens

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mardi 20 janvier 2026 • Durée 23:18

In this episode of Gen Next, Ms. Cam sits down with Olivia, Sophie, and Le Anne, the three teens behind LinkAge, an award-winning app designed to connect youth with lonely seniors through shared interests.

What started with observations in their own families (with their grandparents), curiosity and care turned into interviews and testing in retirement homes to learning how to code and building a prototype for their app. Along the way, these young builders learned that meaningful impact doesn’t require being an adult, having perfect skills, or knowing all the answers. They know that it starts with noticing a problem and taking one small step.

Together, they share:

How the idea for LinkAge began
What surprised them when they met and worked with seniors
What it felt like to see someone use their app for the first time
How the experience shaped their confidence, skills, and dreams
What they’re working on now and what they hope to build next

This episode is a powerful reminder that young people don’t have to wait to contribute. They can build, connect, and create change right now.
