Schulich Leaders pursue passion for STEM

Published: 16 September 2025

As a CEGEP student, Daniel Wei captained his college robotics team to victories with a dodgeball-throwing robot and a biodegradable soil sensor for farmers. 

He and a peer also earned a bronze medal at a science and technology fair for their research on biomechanical processes involved in developing artificial intestines.

The achievements are part of Wei’s impressive track record of leadership, innovation and academic success that landed him Canada’s most generous scholarship for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

One of six incoming recipients of a Schulich Leader Scholarship at ɬ﷬, Wei enters the Software Engineering program buoyed by the $120,000 student award.

“It’s incredibly motivating to have this kind of support as I start my journey at ɬ﷬,” says Wei, a graduate of Marianopolis College, a short distance from the University’s downtown campus.
