When she arrived for her first year of studies at the University of Waterloo, Ebele Mogo (BSc ’09) was just 14-years-old and already a top science student in her home country of Nigeria.

While quickly adjusting to her new life, Mogo also encountered challenges: the cold climate, missing loved ones and adjusting to a new culture and differe...nt academic testing approach.

Building a flying car sounds like something out of science fiction, but Abi Chandrasekhar and Gonzalo Espinoza Garham (BASc ’19) say their venture is grounded in a larger purpose of democratizing flight for all. On a day-to-day basis, your life is defined by the modes of transport you can access, Chandrasekhar says. If you’re limited by the amount of commuting you can do, then where you live, work and shop all revolve around that constraint. But if you can make a 500- or 1,000-kilometre commute, that changes everything. Learn more about Watfly's story: https://bit.ly/3lEmi9i #UWaterlooMagazine
