NCC—ITCA Global Challenge Initiative
The NCC—ITCA Global Challenge Initiative connects students from Northampton Community College (NCC) and the Escuela Especializada en Ingenería ITCA Fepade (ITCA) in a collaborative, challenge-based program that combines in-class virtual exchanges with in-country teambuilding, public presentations, and curriculum-driven cultural immersion. The initiative will develop a hybrid challenge-based exchange module that can integrate with existing NCC courses, piloting the new module simultaneously in one NCC and one ITCA course, and presenting the selected challenge and solution to an international audience.
