UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA


RANKED INTHE WORLD’S

100UNIVERSITIES

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, WE are EXPLORERS.

We believe that education is an adventure. We know that the pathway to achieving excellence goes beyond the classroom – it’s a journey of exploration.

Exploration is about doing research that inspires you, getting real-world job experience, building lifelong friendships in a new city, and trying new things in your day-to-day life.

Exploration is about using your curious mind to discover and understand a subject inside and out. It means asking tough questions and actively seeking the answers, and knowing your area of expertise through and through. It’s also about you and your life experience. We want you to explore your skills and talents…and discover new ones that you never knew you had!

UAlberta is the place to take your journey to excellence.

STARTUP EDMONTON

Ken Bautista, BEd 1999 Ken Bautista is Co-Founder of Startup Edmonton and Flightpath Ventures,

activating and investing in Edmonton’s startup community through initiatives

like The Startup City Project and Students to Startups. Ken has been in the

creative/tech industry for over 10 years, co-founding several interactive

companies, most recently Rocketfuel Games, an educational games studio, and

co-founded community initiatives like TEDxEdmonton and artsScene Edmonton.

In my second year of University, I decided to be an Orientation Leader, and during Orientation Week, I was actually Patches the Panda mascot! It was super fun! Since by second year I knew what I wanted to do, I became a lot more engaged, which I think makes a big difference. And then I joined the Student’s Association for Education, and in my third and fourth year I was the Technology Director for the ESA and then helped to develop the new website, things like that.

UALBERTA ALUMNI STORY

“

Since graduating, I’ve had two companies. During that time, I worked with different incubators in the city that would offer some space and some coaching, which were really valuable for me because I didn’t know anything, really, so I wanted to learn from everyone around me. But you had to step out and start doing that in those environments. I think the thing that was missing there was the community piece. And I think with the second company, Rocketfuel Games, especially since we were working with companies a lot outside of Edmonton, and people thought we were working from Vancouver or Toronto because we were developing educational kids software and we spent a lot of time on the road. Then coming back to Edmonton we thought, “is there anything going on here, why create this thing here.” And that’s where the first Startup Edmonton stuff started to form was because we could either take off, which would be the easy thing to do, or we could try to make something happen here.

In Edmonton, because it is smaller (or a small big city), we have a chance to make noise, and raise the bar for what we’re doing. I think that has been the difference, especially over the last three to five years – there has been a new wave of leaders coming out and building companies, starting stuff, doing things. When you start to get that mass, then the rest of the community starts to notice, and in bigger cities that doesn’t tend to happen.”

22

“I have a summer job building my own startup company with the Entrepreneurship Hub at the University, where people from different faculties come together and bounce ideas off of each other to try and build companies.”

“Being here has helped me to realize that people have different points of view,

and everyone’s point of view is valid.”

“I tutor an average of 20 students per week. Being a tutor lets me put my

skills and expertise to good use. I am sure it will help me get a teaching

position after graduating.”
