Objectifs et capacités de apprenant.es

Students from the University of Windsor Faculty of Science will collaborate individually or in groups of 2-3 to use their scientific knowledge to generate realistic solutions to existing problems your non-profit or community organization may be facing. Through the use of critical thinking and creative problem-solving, students will demonstrate awareness of social issues and community needs, and identify the strengths and resources of a community that can be used to improve on these issues.

Exemples de projets

Students who have fully completed their second year or third year may choose to participate in this Service Learning course. When approving a project, we make sure the students are doing work appropriate for a third-year level (i.e. meaningful, provide opportunities to learn and be actively involved) and will allow them to make connections between their placement experiences and other science courses they have taken.
