WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Students will participate in a sequence of activities intended to engage them in development of innovation ideas.  They will learn how prototyping works, including basics of product design and development and resources available to create their new venture. Students will then be charged with a problem for which teams will use the remaining workshops to address. They will address the various aspects of the problem including customer market research, business modeling, intellectual property, partnerships and financials. They will develop a proof of concept and/or prototype of their venture. The final segment of their experience will consist of end of semester presentations where the students will introduce their ideas to invited guests.
