In just a few weeks, five exceptional SAIT competitors will proudly represent Canada on the world stage at the largest global skilled trades and technologies competition in Shanghai, China.✈️

SAIT has the most competitors from a single Canadian education institution on Team Canada, and the most SAIT competitors since Calgary hosted WorldSkills in 2009.

They've trained hard for this, and now it's their time to show the world what they can do. 💪

How’s the new Taylor Family Campus Centre coming along? Check it out. Photos from August 2026 – August 2025.

🎨 If the colours in the exterior panels feel familiar, they should! The building façade was designed to echo the character of Heritage Hall, while also connecting to architecture of all ages on campus, including the Stan Grad Centre, Johnson-Cobbe Energy Centre and the Aldred Centre.

The Taylor Family Campus Centre opens late 2027.

Don’t mind us as we gush over these award-winning SAIT Alumni 🏆

Ethan Good and Kylan Mazak are graduates from the Engineering Technologist program at SAIT. They’re also Association of Science & Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta Capstone Project of the Year Award winners!

When the ASET awards committee reviewed the B-Field Bandits submission, “Relative Positioning Through Magnetic Fields,” they thought it was so technically ambitious they questioned if it could work. Spoiler alert: It did! 🎉

“It was actually the night before our capstone presentation that we got the system fully working,” Kylan shared.

The electromagnetic field positioning system can pe*****te soil, concrete and water to triangulate relative positions in three-dimensional space. Ethan and Kylan saw potential to improve applications like avalanche transponders, underwater dive computers and virtual and augmented reality.

“We wanted to develop a system that has both a very high precision and very high reliability for co-locating two objects in space,” Ethan explains.

SAIT instructor Martin Kennett nominated the duo for Capstone Project of the Year.

“It became apparent that they wanted to do something really out of the box for their capstone project. The ability for them to be able to distinguish in three dimensions and give a three-dimensional position indoors, in a smoky environment, without line of sight — I think it’s got a great application in a first responder situation.”

Congratulations Ethan and Kylan! 👏
