While the primary purpose of the CSPS program is instructor-led learning and hands-on bootcamp-style activities, there is a considerable amount of additional learning material provided for participants to explore to supplement their coursework. Below you’ll find links to the additional material provided for the Design stream with the CSPS Digital Academy.

We’ll look into whether or not we are permitted to share presentation recordings and decks.
