Campus Course Network

Description

The Campus Course Network is where CityLAB works with already existing courses at McMaster, Mohawk, and Redeemer, which involve hands-on, project-based opportunities for students to engage with their city. CityLAB’s goal is to meaningfully integrate coursework towards the City’s strategic priorities. By joining the network, faculty are connected with passionate change-makers and exposed to a thriving community of educators, researchers, and city staff who are all working to make Hamilton a better place.

 

Example Projects

The following projects are examples of the many projects part of the Campus Course Network. These were all co-created by McMaster, Mohawk and Redeemer student groups with faculty and city staff involvement.
