Tackling the increasingly complex Grand Challenges of our time requires innovative solutions, leveraging the creativity of innovators from diverse disciplines.Throughout the semester, you will develop the skills and mindsets needed for collaborating on multidisciplinary teams, understanding and defining complex problems, and rapidly testing ideas for desirability and feasibility. You'll engage in active learning - participating in hands-on experiences, followed by guided discussions and reflections that will help you learn from and with your peers. By the end of the course, you will assemble a multidisciplinary team of co-innovators ready to design a solution to a well-defined, real-world problem.
