In 2026, students across the country explored what it means to understand one another — through art, code, math, public speaking, science, and writing. Below are the medal recipients of the Canadian Innovation Contests and of the partnered Global Olympiads, on the year's theme of Empathy.

The Canadian Innovation Contests run six annual contests for students in Grades 2 through 10 — art, computing, mathematics, public speaking, science, and writing. Each year a single theme shapes every submission. In 2026, that theme was Empathy: the capacity to understand and share the feelings of another. CKSTEM also partners with seven Global Olympiads — HKIMO, TIMO, BBB, MOEMS, and CNML — to give students international stages for their math work. Across both programs, 358 students earned recognition at 97 schools.
Four schools tied at the very top this year — each one shaping the kind of culture where empathy and excellence grow side by side.
Thirteen teachers whose students earned exceptional results across multiple contests — the coaching, preparation, and culture that turn curiosity into achievement.
Twenty-one students earned the year's Best Student scholarships — recognizing both achievement and the empathy that ran through every contest entry.
Scholarship is for full term CKSTEM Math Programs only with no other discount.

The CIC 2026 Awards Ceremony was more than a medal presentation — it was a full evening for students, families, and teachers. Attending students collected their physical medals on stage; the evening also brought live performances, photos, and the kind of energy that makes a whole year feel worth it.
Congratulations,
