About

The Royal Roads Design Thinking Challenge is a chance for teams of undergraduate business students to contribute to an issue of societal concern. Students work with civic leaders to address a real-world design challenge. 

The RRDTC believes the best solutions emerge through working to deeply understand all those who are impacted by a situation, collaborating with others, tapping into our creativity, and learning through prototyping. It is an event for business students who want to move beyond “business as usual” and impact positive change.
