Thank you for taking part in UWaterloo’s Waterloo Experience (WE) Accelerate program for students! We’re so grateful to you and your organization for helping our students to practice their skills through providing real-life projects for them to work on.
We’ve prepared this resource to help you make the most of your 3-5 week window of time to work with the student team that has been assigned to work on your project. Because the projects will be assigned and completed in such a short period of time, it’s important to plan ahead, prepare any resources and set aside time in advance so our students can hit the ground running.
Each project must involve a minimum time commitment of 120 hours per student across 3-5 weeks from March 4 to April 5, 2024.
Some students may be located in different time zones or be working/studying part-time, so please be sure to set expectations about time commitments in advance and make accommodations when necessary.
Students may have questions along the way, so please set aside time to provide guidance, feedback and support as they complete your project.
All projects must be completed remotely. Check out how to support students remotely.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
