Siendo Naturaleza

Location: Tiracu Valley, Peru, with ~4 weeks remote work at the beginning

Siendo Naturaleza (Being Nature) is an 鈥淎mazon Life Project for Life鈥� in the tropical cloud forests of the Tiracu Valley near the city of Tarapoto. we work with the jungle as a laboratory, where we prototype regeneration through agriculture, reforestation, infrastructure, and technical and social systems. The goal of the program is to learn and practice an ecological and a human-centered design approach related to your engineering/architecture practical work.

Please note that while Spanish is not a prerequisite to apply, this is a strong asset. Nonetheless, the most important quality we are seeking in potential visiting students is open-mindedness and adventurous enough to live in the jungle, which includes embracing all beings of our community. Multiple projects are outlined in more detail in the attached document.

Paths for People

Location: Edmonton, AB (potential for Hybrid)

Paths for People is a non-profit advocating to make Edmonton a friendlier place to walk, roll, and cycle. The City of Edmonton is investing $100 million into Edmonton鈥檚 active transportation network, creating a huge opportunity to improve connectivity and safety of active transportation for residents and visitors.鈥傗�傗�傗�傗�傗��

The goal of this project would be to identify key places where small segments of infrastructure can be improved to create a significant positive impact for people walking and biking. This could include missing links between existing routes, major intersection that could be made safer, or streets that would benefit from the addition of protected bike infrastructure. After using community insights and the City鈥檚 open data to identify these key sites, the student will develop design proposal based on best practices world-wide. The project would also analyze recent improvements in active transportation infrastructure and highlight continued areas of excellence and improvement.
We are open to adapting this project based on student interests and skills. A passion for active transportation is required. Experience with policy review, active transportation infrastructure design, and modeling are considered assets.
