Hands-on Learning Opportunities

JMU X-Labs

Hacking for Defense, Hacking for Diplomacy, Hacking for Democracy.

These are but a few of the JMU X-Labs courses WRTC students have participated in recently. JMU x-Labs courses are designed to teach innovation with intention. These multi-disciplinary classes challenge students to tackle "messy," real-world problems that resist easy solutions.
