Six award-winning solutions for urban challenges

From AI-powered civic tools to sustainable housing solutions, University of Waterloo students came together to present interdisciplinary projects tackling real-world issues at this year's i-Capstone symposium. 

Held on March 26, the event showcased student creativity, teamwork and dedication to solving real-world urban challenges. Designed to unite students from every faculty, i-Capstone — the University of Waterloo’s first interdisciplinary undergraduate capstone program — enables students to tackle complex problems facing Canadian communities while working with real world partners, all for academic credit. This includes areas like sustainable housing, infrastructure and integrated urban planning.
