Project: Maybe ?
Give IT a shot.
A club for the skills nobody actually teaches you, the ones everyone assumes you already picked up somewhere. We learn one every month or two, then we compete with it. If a competition doesn't exist, we build one.
What we do
Learn the thing, then go use it for real.
Photography. Marketing. Public speaking. Writing. Video editing. Cultural literacy. These get treated as common knowledge, information you're just supposed to have, so no course ever covers them properly.
At Project: Maybe we pick one, spend a month or two getting comfortable with it as a group, and then enter a real competition together. Members usually get a couple of options to choose from. When nothing suitable exists, we run our own open competition, and if enough people are interested, we open it beyond our school.
- Photography
- Marketing
- Public speaking
- Writing
- Video editing
- Cultural literacy & interpretation
- More to come
Failure isn't a weakness. It's the first step toward something better.
Our goal is to teach new skills and build an environment where trying something badly the first time is completely normal, because that's how everyone starts.
You don't need experience. You don't need to be good yet. That's the entire point of the name.

Land Acknowledgement
We meet on this land with gratitude and respect.
We would like to acknowledge the traditional territory of the Tsawwassen and Musqueam First Nations and all of the Coast Salish peoples who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial and on whose land we live, learn, and play. We would also like to offer our respect to all the Elders who have gone before us, the Indigenous people who are with us today, and to all Canadians who are on the journey of Reconciliation. We offer gratitude to the Musqueam people who honour our school with the name Seaquam, which in their language means sunshine.
