How We Choose Students for the Program We want to be open about how we’ll review applications for the High School Tech Immersion Program. To make the process fair and efficient, we will use a mix of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human evaluation (where people review applications). How It Works: AI will help us screen applications to look for key things, like your interest in the program and how your answers match what we’re looking for. People make the final decisions—AI just helps us organize and review information. Keeping It Fair: To make sure the process is fair and unbiased, we follow rules from Accessibility Standards Canada that protect applicants. Here’s what that means for you: Fair AI Tools: The AI we use is checked and tested to reduce bias. Accessibility: If you need help or accommodations when applying, let us know. Transparency: You can ask questions about how your application was reviewed. We’re excited to hear your story and learn about what makes you unique. If you have any questions or concerns, reach out anytime at [contact email]. *
