What You're Doing, Where We're Going
The OpenLab team provides many different modes of support to help members learn how to do what they want to do on the OpenLab. Co-working sessions are a little different as they’re more about fostering a community of support.
These hour-long sessions are for quiet working time alongside others, with the option to move to a breakout room for conversation or questions.
Welcome to the Fall 2025 semester! City Tech welcomes new students and faculty and staff members every year–so welcome to everyone new, and welcome back to everyone returning!
The OpenLab team is excited to work with you this semester as you do great things on the OpenLab–and to help you learn more about using the OpenLab and working in an open community.
At the end of every summer (not to say this is the end of the summer!), there are new members of the City Tech community, all of whom are welcome to become members of City Tech’s OpenLab. There are also returning City Tech students, faculty, and staff who have yet to explore the OpenLab.
Emerging Scholars from COMD Futures, Emerging Media Technologies, and Architecture collaborated with Membit Inc. over the last few semesters to research, design, and develop City Tech’s Fun Facts Finder, an augmented reality campus tour.
This virtual tour uses the augmented reality application Membit to help new students locate important locations and services on campus, meet community members, and share fun facts about City Tech.
The LGBTQIA+ Collective shared their slate of exciting events coming up this semester for the LGBTQIA+ community at City Tech and invited us all to join in and spread the word!
The LBGTQIA+ Poster Competition offers everyone in the City Tech community the opportunity to design a poster supporting City Tech’s LGBTQIA+ students.
With Undergraduate Research projects underway this semester, student researchers find support in the workshops offered and the guidance of their research mentors.
If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, you can add your name and information about your research to the list of mentors interested in supporting student research projects.
Get ready for Plan Week, which starts on Monday, March 3rd and runs through Friday, March 7th! You can take part in Plan Week activities to prepare for advisement and registration for next semester, to ensure you are taking the right courses and asking the right questions to stay on the path to graduation and achieving your future goals.
This spotlight is shining on the Research Mixer, an event held each Fall and Spring semester for the last 15 years! The 30th semi-annual Research Mixer helps student researchers and faculty mentors connect. The event has evolved over the years to meet the needs of City Tech’s research community: in its current format, it’s a hybrid session that brings together students interested in conducting research, faculty members interested in mentoring student researchers, and representatives from various research programs available for City Tech students–including paid research opportunities!
Welcome, visitors, new members, and returning members, to the Spring 2025 semester on the OpenLab!
The OpenLab team is excited to work with you this semester as you do great things on the OpenLab–and to help you learn more about using the OpenLab and working in an open community.
