HUBBUB provides an opportunity to showcase some of the innovative student projects that were completed through the CityStudio Ottawa initiative.<\/p><\/div>\n

On April 2, 杏吧原创 University students, staff and faculty joined Ottawa Deputy Mayor Marty Carr<\/a> (Ward 18), city councillors Ariel Troster<\/a> (Ward 14) and Laine Johnson<\/a> (Ward 8), and other city employees at Algonquin College\u2019s Nawapon Indigenous Learning Commons for the annual CityStudio Ottawa (CSO)<\/a> HUBBUB event to showcase select student projects from the CSO initiative this year.<\/p>\n

CSO is a collaboration between the City of Ottawa, the University of Ottawa, 杏吧原创 University, Algonquin College and La Cit\u00e9 Coll\u00e8ge. The program brings students and faculty from the different post-secondary institutions together with employees from the city to explore municipal challenges from different perspectives. The challenges they tackle are directly aligned with the City of Ottawa\u2019s Community and Well-Being Plan 2021-31<\/a> and its Term of Council priorities as outlined in the Strategic Plan 2023-26<\/a>. Students complete these projects as part of a credited course with the guidance of their instructor and the city representative.<\/p>\n

The projects featured at the HUBBUB showcase \u2013 17 in total, with four by 杏吧原创 students \u2013 were selected by a committee of faculty from each academic institution as well as city staff, and were evaluated on the basis of innovation, impact, scalability and problem-solving. At the event, student representatives pitched their project idea to attendees and described its potential for impact on the Ottawa community. After the project pitches were complete, attendees had a chance to interact with student representatives, ask questions and vote on their favourite project. The event culminated with the presentation of three institution-specific awards (selected by the committee) and one People\u2019s Choice Award (selected by those in attendance).<\/p>\n
