The event will began with a presentation from Tori McDermott, Jennifer Schell, Petra Banks, and Lia Ferguson presenting on a project that was support by an Ideation Studio Seed Fund, focused on a Problem-Based Learning module for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ classes.
After the presentation you will be sent out into breakout rooms for an ideation activity.
An Ideation Studio is a series of workshops intended to help researchers, faculty, staff, and students work together to solve ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ challenges across silos. Participants network with others, come up with new ideas, expand on existing ideas, and discover how others are solving complex and wicked problems at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. Participants automatically qualify to apply for up to $20,000 in seed funding.
Ideation Studios and partner programs Arctic Fellow Awards, Patents to Products, and Peter Webley’s problem-based curricular initiatives are all funded by Center for Innovation through the Office of Naval Research RISE-UP grant.
