This was our first time using Riipen after it was recommended to us by a colleague and we must say that we are immensely pleased with the experience. It took getting used to the platforms manner of posting our project, but once we connected with Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Business Information System program instructors, it was smooth sailing from there. Once we got to have a Zoom call with Hannah, she had pertinent questions which helped us frame what we were looking for and was immediately onboard, envisioning which team of students she would likely connect us with which she believed we would have good chemistry with. And she was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! Once we began receiving communication from the team and getting prepared to meet them on the initial Zoom call they were excited to jump in and help us. They named their team Made In SK as an ode to our Company Name MAID IN LUXURY. They understood our vision for the website, and made suggestions that spoke to our style, aesthetic and overall vision. They even asked us to give them a wish list, and when we did their response was "That's easy ... Anything else?" Which drove us to expand our vision which they were still able to deliver on. Suffice it to say this maiden Riipen Experience with everyone from Saskatchewan Polytechnic has been a complete success; so much so we want to continue working with some members of the team.

We are currently working with Schulich School of Business students and University of Saskatchewan Polytechnic. It has been a wonderful experience so far working with the Team Leaders and the students especially the project is in relation to marketing and business expansion . Would be able to give a better review once our projects are complete which is due by August 2024 . Thank you Ripen for the opportunity and looking forward to work with many more in the year 2024/25

An exceptional experience working with Alex and his students. I cannot thank Alex enough for his support during our time together. Alex ensured his students were set up for success and they fully invested in the project at hand which showed in their work. Alex is an incredible mentor and guide. We hope to continue working with Alex and his students. Thank you for the support and the opportunity.

Great working with the team of students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic. They worked diligently throughout the project and worked collaboratively with me.

Really nice to have Allan's oversight and experience guide his team to what I'm expecting to be a big home run. Thank you, Allan.

It was a great experience.

I highly recommend the Computer Tech Students and their professor, Alex Wang, at SaskPolytech. Working with them has been an incredibly positive experience. The students have shown great thoughtfulness, diligence, and commitment in their work. Their dedication to their studies and their willingness to go above and beyond has been truly inspiring. I am extremely appreciative of their efforts and am excited for the new year and our continued work together. I would also like to express my gratitude to Alex, and the student lead, Ben Pederson, for their unwavering support and guidance. Saskpolytech is truly a remarkable institution that fosters a nurturing and collaborative learning environment. I am grateful for the opportunity to have the benefit of all of their hard work.

Great working with such dedicated students. Really enjoy working with them so far and seeing the weekly progress.

Thank you!

Very Good support from students, with good instructor guidance.

I have has such great experiences with Riipen!

There was no communication throughout the project. Student left the project in the middle of the project and there was no one one to follow up the matter with!

The students team did a wonderful job on the project of what was provided however they were not able to complete the project due to some administrative issues from Saskatchewan Polytechnic that prevented the students from completing the project. There were delays to the start of the project as well due to the school's administration. The students team would receive a 5 star on the work that they did provide.

The students and the administrator made sure to clarify and satisfy the needs and requirements of my Project. They communicate well and coordinate in a professional manner. I look forward to keeping in touch for any further Projects of mine that may be fit for another one of their courses. :)

Project initiation was great. There should have been more engagement through delivery as well.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with a group of 3 students at Sask.Poly. They keep learning and getting hands on experience with a popular blockchain. And, they contribute and help us with dealing with multiple blockchain instances. As we did arrange 1 year cloud access, there is a possibility to extend the assignment with the same group or help another group of students.

The students and staff at Sask Polytech are very easy to work with, over the course of our project the student involved was professional and eager to learn. The work produced at the end of the project was a useful and welcome addition to our tool belt.

This school is on point for the effective use of marketing tools and strategies. Bold players, confident teams, asking the right questions and delivering innovative advice. I highly recommend this school and its professor.

The students who helped us with this project, Christian and Jeff, did a great job! They were thorough, timely, and professional. The videos they created were exactly what we were looking for.

Great to work with. I would recommend.

Great group of awesome students! They did an amazing job of creating a workplan, managing workstreams, and delivering a high quality output. Great team to work with!

The Saskatchewan Polytechnic students developed a training/onboarding course and supporting material to help us provide a consistent and optimum experiential learning experience to our student collaborators on Riipen. This work included a checklist for onboarding students to a project, FAQs, and post-project feedback survey to improve the future learning experience and understanding of the project goals and requirements. Through their work we have obtained the material we need to make a great start in this continuing effort. The students were always pleasant, professional, and keen to understand our project goals and objective, and very responsive to feedback. Overall their contribution was of value to our future projects and something that we're confident will benefit future students we collaborate with.
