Change Lab

Change Lab is a once-in-a-degree experiential learning program open to students from all faculties. Please see Change Lab | RADIUS SFU for full information.

Undergraduate students from a variety of academic backgrounds work together in interdisciplinary teams to investigate a real social, economic, and environmental challenge facing our local community. Together, they build a sustainable intervention to creatively respond to it and present their ideas to community influencers – all in just 13 weeks.

In this immersive experience, students learn about the core practices of social innovation, human-centered design, entrepreneurship. Change Lab remains a popular program for students to step outside of the classroom and their comfort zones to discover what it means to create social change.

The highlight of my academic career. I have learned so much that I otherwise would have missed if it was just a standard class… I am forever grateful for this experience- the mentorship, the content and the opportunity to connect with community leaders and members.
