Varroa mites are one of the main causes in the decline of honey bee health across Canada. To keep mites under control, beekeepers rely on the use of miticides. Unfortunately this practice has led to miticide resistant mites which has resulted in the failure of mite control and high bee mortality (average 37.8% per year). […]

This project will demonstrate on-site biochar production from sawmill residues at Patterson Sawmill (Hay River, NWT) using Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s mobile kiln. The mobile system avoids high transport and capital costs associated with stationary facilities and can process diverse residue types directly on-site, offering a practical solution for sustainable management of waste biomass at northern sawmills. […]

Many Canadian companies and researchers struggle to find affordable, secure, and easy-to-use data labelling tools. Most existing platforms are foreign-owned, which can cause privacy issues and make it harder for small teams to work with sensitive information. It also prevents us from building local expertise and jobs in AI data management. Zester aims to solve […]

The LinkedWell Companion project is creating an intelligent and compassionate digital tool that helps families and healthcare providers communicate more clearly and stay connected beyond short medical appointments. In many clinics, appointments last only a few minutes, and patients often leave with unanswered questions, forgotten details, or confusion about what to do next. LinkedWell aims […]

This project aims to develop a cost-effective imaging system for the early detection of crop diseases, with a particular focus on Fusarium Head Blight which is a disease responsible for an estimated $1 billion in annual losses to Canadian agriculture. Fusarium Head Blight produces deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin that renders grain unusable at concentrations as […]

The Nexagon project aims to develop an innovative neck collar designed to help prevent concussions in sports like hockey by reducing rapid head and neck movements during impact. Inspired by natural structures such as the honeycomb, the collar will be lightweight, comfortable, and effective in absorbing and redistributing forces that can cause brain injuries. Using […]

ParkSmart is an AI-powered parking analytics platform designed to make parking management more efficient, accessible, and sustainable for cities, campuses, and organizations. The system utilizes existing camera footage and applies computer vision and artificial intelligence to detect parked vehicles and identify stall occupancy in real time. Through this approach, ParkSmart generates live parking availability simulation […]

Levis Tech is a custom software company based in Saskatoon that builds web applications for food banks, nonprofits, and eCommerce businesses. This project will bring on a Quality Assurance (QA) Tester to help improve how the company tests its software. Right now, testing is done manually by one of the partners, which slows things down. […]

The proposed project is an ergonomic manual shovel that aims to decrease stress and injury. The project aims to improve manual transfer of materials for farmers, construction workers, landscapers, and homeowners. The goal of this project is to improve the technological readiness of an initial prototype to bring it closer to commercialization.

This project focuses on developing a durable, low-power tracking device for small construction equipment, enabling contractors to automatically monitor machine usage, idle time, and location. This technology reduces theft, cuts down on fuel waste, and eliminates manual tracking, helping improve productivity across underserved construction SMEs across Canada. Over four months, the intern will enhance the […]

The proposed project will leverage AI technology and citizen science to improve the efficient and responsible use of pesticides in agriculture. Farmers and agronomists face significant challenges in identifying insect species in their crops. Many insects look similar, but while some are harmful pests causing severe crop losses, others are beneficial, acting as natural pest […]
