Working with students on a project through CityStudio can provide valuable outside-the-box thinking and experimentation to help move important issues forward. Our team will provide support throughout the process to ensure the best results for you and the students.
I found it very manageable this term. The CityStudio staff and faculty partner were helpful in managing communications with the students and very respectful of our time.

Students

Are you a CapU current or prospective student wanting to enroll in a CityStudio experience?
For a project to be successful, we’ve learned that:
- Most collaborations take place in the Fall (September to December) and Spring (January to April)
- Staff need to dedicate a minimum of 10 hours during the term (complex collaborations may require more time)
- This includes a pre-term scoping meeting, 3 in-class visits and HUBBUB, our end-of-term showcase.
Thank you for all your hard work connecting instructors and community partners, and for your guidance and dedication. It was such a rewarding experience for me and my AHIS330 students. I highly recommend instructors get involved. Project-based learning is so fantastic. Can’t wait until we can do face-to-face projects again.
