Overview

We at Teaching and Learning Services (TLS), together with the Student Experience Office and Career Services, are excited to partner with Riipen to offer Carleton students, staff, and instructors the opportunity to collaborate on virtual, short-term projects (maximum 6-8 hours of work) called Discovery Challenges. Discovery Challenges provide students with resumé-boosting work-related experience and staff and instructors with valuable input from students. Riipen is a web platform to facilitate projects between students and employers.
In short, Carleton staff, instructors, and recognized student groups (clubs and societies, CUSA, GSA) can propose Discovery Challenges that Carleton graduate and undergraduate students can complete for meaningful experience and co-curricular record (CCR) credit.

Project Examples
Some examples of possible Discovery Challenges:
- develop a detailed communication plan to promote an upcoming Carleton event, including a timeline and draft social media messages (e.g., Tweets).
- evaluate a specific Carleton website from a gendered, racialized, or disability lens and make specific recommendations for improvement.
- propose and/or prototype an update/upgrade to an existing Carleton product or service.
