ARE YOU A CHANGE-MAKER? AN INNOVATOR? A PROBLEM SOLVER? A CREATIVE DREAMER?

AGILITY and the Liberal Education Program are offering just the course for you!

Themes in Innovation 2017 will help students to develop the skills of a liberal education, especially those of creativity and innovation for dealing with complex problems. Creativity, philosophy and history of technology, and social change are all at the core of the course. Students will be introduced to some of the foundational ideas that contribute to the innovation culture, which is built upon the principles of problem-solving, designing and building solutions, sharing a common interest in hacking and tinkering, and supporting community growth through collaboration.

The course will consist of guest lectures and hands-on workshops on topics that include:

  • Design thinking
  • Creative problem-solving
  • Social impact
  • and rapid prototyping.

In addition, students will put into action these skills and foundational ideas to solve problems related to a theme. A variety of topics will be introduced to help provide students with ideas to identify their final projects.
