Enactus Canada With Bentley – iTwin4Good Virtual Programme Developer Experience
Through the iTwin4Good Virtual Programme Developer Experience, students will have the opportunity to combine their passion for environmental and social action, as well as their engineering and software development abilities to create infrastructure digital twins addressing a need in their community.
In a six-week structured program, you will learn to use the iTwin platform, receive coaching and pitching support from Directors at Bentley, and become an accredited iTwin Developer Associate! Once you are put into teams, over the next six weeks you will create an iTwin app that promotes positive environmental or social impact in your city or community. The highest performing teams of students have the opportunity to demo your team’s app to a panel of senior leaders within Bentley and take home prize money!
