Bust out of your usual way of thinking - learn the design thinking process and mindset to tackle problems from a fresh perspective!

Innovative problem-solving starts with identifying the right problem to solve. Learn the process highlighted in human-centered design to reframe and solve all sorts of problems in creative ways. In this workshop, you’ll get another tool in your problem-solving toolbox: how to think outside the box to better understand your problem, your user, and your assumptions. You will work through the human-centered design process and design something to meet your user’s needs.

In each session of the Innovation Workshop Series, you’ll work with a professional who’s an expert in the field, from prototyping to marketing. You can drop into any one workshop or attend them all—think of it like choosing which tools you need for problem-solving. Whether you want to build keg-powered bikes in your garage or learn some of the skills you’ll need to set yourself apart when you’re applying for jobs, we invite you to come build cool sh*t with us in these sandbox-style workshops.

*Please note, you do NOT have to attend one session in order to attend another. Please come to whatever interests you that works with your schedule!

The Innovation Workshop Series is hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business Deming Center for Entrepreneurship and the College of Engineering and Applied Science Idea Forge.
