Innovation Studio

Nakeia Medcalf

In this studio, you will work to create a new innovation that helps someone close to you overcome a problem or challenge in their daily lives. Imagine you have a grandparent who struggles to get up from bed. You could engineer an apparatus that helps lift them using a clever mechanism (like a scissor lift!). Or imagine your younger sibling is afraid of the dark; you could design a special voice-activated lighting system that responds to them if they wake up in the middle of the night. 

In this course, you have learned about a variety of engineering styles. You will select an engineering style that is of interest to you and apply techniques from that profession in the development of your final innovation. For instance, if you are interested in electrical engineering, you might explore making an electronic device that serves an important role from someone in your life.
