Learning Hub

In the fall of 2020, C2SMART (now C2SMARTER) launched the Student Learning Hub, free for all consortium member students. Students were able to access learning from a variety of course domains, including data science, computer science, and traffic simulation. The Hub is designed to offer students hands-on experience to learn the tools and skills they will need as they advance their careers, whether in academia, industry, or within government agencies.
