The College of Arts is thrilled to announce a pilot project called the Student Experience Design Lab (SXD Lab). Supported by UFV’s Fund for Innovative Teaching, the SXD Lab is developing real-life student-led learning opportunities with a focus on innovation, career development, creativity and collaboration.
The first learning opportunity to come out of the SXD Lab is a series of MAD MONDAY Challenges.
What is a MAD MONDAY Challenge?
In interdisciplinary teams of four, students will develop and present a solution to a specific challenge in less than seven hours. The winning team will be awarded a grand prize valued at $500. In addition, each team member will receive a $100 honorarium.
For these challenges, we are seeking student leaders who are action-oriented and well organized.
Please submit your team nominations to Elise Goertz (Internship and Practicum Coordinator) in the College of Arts, Deans’ Office via email: elise.goertz@ufv.ca.
MAD MONDAY Challenge — HISTORY DIGITAL BADGING
Using a set of guidelines provided by the History department, identify and design a digital badge to supplement the BA degree, and provide indication of the skills gained throughout a major in History. Each team must include two History students from diverse backgrounds and two students from any College of Arts discipline. Teams will benefit from having some members with computer or artistic skills.
