Kudos to Casimir Kuzyk, SBQMI student, on making the finals of the UBC Innovation onBoard pitching competition! The finals will be held on February 8th, 2018, 6PM at the Jack Poole Hall, Robert Lee Alumni Centre. He will be presenting his inexpensive scanning electron microscope project, named the ‘aweSEM device’.
