Firefighting training, Dungeons & Dragons among TeachingCity research projects celebrated [Video]

A trio of wildly divergent projects were in the spotlight at the TeachingCity Open House in Oshawa Friday, with the partnership between the City of Oshawa and post-secondary institutions Durham College, Ontario Tech University, Trent University Durham GTA and the University of Toronto hosting their annual celebration of innovation, collaboration and real world learning.

Guests at the open house had the opportunity to explore and engage with 10 projects making a difference in the community, including one helping train firefighters, another on building community in downtown Oshawa and a third studying autistic adolescents and dungeons and dragons.

Launched in June 2017, TeachingCity has helped transform Oshawa into a “living laboratory’ where students, faculty researchers, and city staff work together to address urban challenges.

With Oshawa home to more than 30,000 students and a diversified faculty base, TeachingCity is at the forefront of academic collaboration, encouraging innovation while enhancing community development.
