Propose a Project

Have a project idea? Whether you’re a current Project90 member, a UCalgary student, staff member, nonprofit leader, or community member, you can propose a project to Project90! Please complete this form so we can consider your project for the 2027-2028 academic year. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*). This form is open indefinitely!

What is a “project”?
Project90 supports engineering projects usually carried out by teams of 8–12 students over two academic semesters. Projects typically move through a design phase, a build phase, and an integration and testing phase. Past projects have included an adaptive standing frame for a child with cerebral palsy and arthrogryposis, a clean water system for a rural village in Costa Rica, and a pressure-sensing prosthetic sock to help clinicians improve prosthetic limb fit.
