The i-Capstone Symposium brought together students, partners, and city-builders for a full day of presentations reflecting a term of applied work on real urban challenges.
Thank you to the instructors who guided teams throughout the term: Derek Rayside, Michael Wood, Benjamin Graham, and Douglas Peers. The depth and range of what students presented speaks directly to the investment you made in them. Thank you also to Bruce Frayne and Mary Wells, whose leadership helped bring i-Capstone to life.
Thank you to Frank Cairo, David Catalfo, P.Eng., and the team at CAIVAN, whose belief in this work and in these students is what makes the Future Cities Institute founded by CAIVAN possible. Thank you to GLOCAL Foundation of Canada and Faye Ying, AWS Canada and Stephanie Whitney, and the Global Futures Office and Fayaz Noormohamed for supporting the student awards.
The Future Cities Institute was grateful to welcome University of Waterloo President Vivek Goel, Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe, and representatives from the Region of Waterloo. Thank you to all partners who came out to listen, ask strong questions, and celebrate the teams they worked alongside all term.
