CO-CURRICULAR RECORDS
Cape Breton University’s Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is an official University document that recognizes student achievements and involvement in activities and events outside of the classroom. It’s another way to get credit for activities that are not a credited part of a program or coursework, such as volunteer work.
Spaghetti Skyscraper Challenge
ENACTUS CBU SOCIETY
The Student Entrepreneur National Competition is one of the largest national programs to focus solely on full-time post-secondary student entrepreneurs in Canada. It recognizes and rewards student entrepreneurs from across the country for their dedication and ambition, while offering support to ensure the success of their business.
SANDBOX NOW
Wednesday November 20 is the day we see which team has the skills to erect the tallest spaghetti and marshmallow tower, take home the $200 prize, and bask in all the glory. Teams can pre-register online to secure their time slot, or sign up for an available time in the cafeteria on Wednesday morning.
Collide VALIDATE! is a six-week, in-person program that will help participants critically test and refine their entrepreneurial ideas. They’ll connect with other aspiring entrepreneurs, explore the nine building blocks of the Business Model Canvas, and receive a $500 stipend to help them decide whether to pause, pivot, or push their idea forward.
The CBU Design Cube provides an opportunity for students to be introduced to several of the modern creative technologies used in industry around the world. Our Design Cube features laser cutting, 3D modelling, printing and robotics technology which allows students to have a hands on introduction to these future technologies. The cube is mobile and will be featured around the university, staffed by student guides and facilitators.
