The Innovation Challenge is a 24-hour competition that gives University of Regina students the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary teams to develop viable solutions to real wicked problems. Teams have a designated space on campus for 24 hours to brainstorm, research, and propose their solutions to a panel of judges, with the top three teams taking home scholarships.

The program strives to cultivate cross-disciplinary teamwork by bringing together diverse student teams, allowing for a broader perspective and shared intellect. This equips participants with the necessary skills, mindset, and networks to effectively address complex challenges. Students walk away with hands-on problem-solving experience and the confidence to become catalysts for change in their respective fields.

Fail UP

Want to be an entrepreneur?

Learning from Entrepreneurial Failure (Fail UP) is a non-credit program that offers an opportunity for transformational and experiential learning. Available to a cohort of up to 22 students per installment, this free program is designed to help participants overcome the stigma associated with failure and embrace it as an integral part of the entrepreneurial process.

Fail UP comprises a series of sessions spanning seven weeks. The first session covers theory and frameworks of learning from failure, emphasizing its importance in entrepreneurial development and business success (delivered by a faculty member). The subsequent six sessions feature speakers from a variety of sectors and entrepreneurial firms, each sharing personal stories of coping with, overcoming, and learning from failure in business. Participants have a unique opportunity to interact with these speakers and other students in their cohort.

Upon successful completion of all the sessions and written reflections, participants receive the Learning from Entrepreneurial Failure Digital Badge.

WINTER FAIL UP DATE: February 16 - March 28, 2024
