Defining the Issue and Vision
To define the Project and Vision, at the start of the Project as a class, we identified one thing that the majority of the students living near or on the university campus (Yukon University) were lacking was the knowledge of the recreational and social opportunities that are available to them at a very low-cost in the City of Whitehorse.
The audience of our project is comprised of students between the ages of 18-25 years old who attend Yukon University, which is composed of multicultural and diversity students who have different interests, budgets, and lifestyles than other students at Yukon University.
The group created a Vision statement as follows:
The Capstone class of 2026 will create a campus community that allows students to access information that will connect them to affordable and welcoming Third Spaces, outside of the campus.
The goal of this project will make it easier for students to find things to do based on:
Budget (Free, $, $$, $$$)
Activity types (e.g., outdoor activities, arts, sports, or cafes)
Day of the week
Miles from campus
