Riipen: a Project-Based Learning & Internship Platform

Riipen is a comprehensive experiential learning platform, similar to an online job board. Riipen makes it easy for students to connect with businesses and non-profit organizations to participate in project-based virtual internships. These vetted partners post their project proposals on the Riipen platform, then students (or teams of students) can accept the offer, and work on real-world projects in their own area of expertise. The projects represent a range of academic specialties, so there are opportunities for students with a variety of majors: engineering, psychology, history, graphic design, business, marketing, and more. Please see the video below for a quick introduction, or check out our Riipen page for more information about using this platform in your class.
