We are Neurovation, a team dedicated to making learning easier for neurodiverse students. In collaboration with the University of Victoria’s faculty, staff, and students, we aim to develop a tool on Brightspace that enhances the user experience for neurodiverse learners, empowering everyone to reach their full potential. Our goal is to foster a more inclusive educational environment by offering resources tailored for neurodivergent conditions. With our talented team and support from INSPIRE, UVic faculty, staff, ambassadors, and mentors, we’re set to create something truly impactful.
