Students

The Problem Lab works with students in all faculties, both undergraduate and graduate, whether you wish to launch entrepreneurial careers, new ventures, or develop professional skills. We hope to see you at our next event, workshop, award, or competition.  

Co-op Problem Award

Cooperative Education and the Problem Lab offer the Co-op Problem Award each term. The award is earned by providing the best analysis of an important problem relevant to a co-op employer or the employer’s industry. Available every semester, the award covers part of the tuition for the upcoming term. The deadline to apply varies, but will normally be about six weeks from the start of each semester, see the award website for the actual deadline.

Competitions

The Quantum Valley Investments® Problem Pitch competitions challenge you to research an important problem and pitch your research to a panel of judges. Funding is awarded to support teams that demonstrate the most thorough understanding of their chosen problem to develop a solution. Learn how you can participate.
