Innovation Programs for Educators

  • “Before the innovation program, I was very hesitant of others shutting down my ideas. I now feel more comfortable giving out an idea and understanding that it’s okay if it doesn’t work. That’s something I know will benefit me for the rest of my life.”

    — April, Innovation Certificate Student

  • "Joining this program, which connects people from around the world, showed me both how different my community is from others and how we share similarities in the things we care about."

    — Mira, Innovation Certificate Student

  • "Design thinking is structured to constantly help you overcome barriers. Whether that is by changing the direction or the end goal to better satisfy your users or moving up a time line, you're better suited and adapted to overcoming the challenges that might come along."

    — Isabella, Innovation Diploma Student

  • “The Innovation Certificate Program taught me to approach problems without feeling overwhelmed, but instead to break them down and take ownership of solving them.”

    — Loki, Innovation Certificate Student
