Over the years, the OpenLab has featured a range of interesting work by the City Tech community in our weekly blog series, ‘In the Spotlight.’ This series demonstrates the diverse and creative ways members of our community use the OpenLab to support their academic and professional growth, community-building efforts, and teaching and learning. This archive aims to surface and curate these posts with the aim of supporting your use and exploration of the OpenLab.
Below we’ve included a full list of the archive sorted by type of site (courses, projects, clubs and portfolios), or you can use the buttons below to navigate to versions of the archive curated for students and faculty/staff.
Happy exploring!
