Free Virtual MIT Solveathon 2-Day Workshop co-hosted by the Mike Ilitch School of Business and the BELL

All Wayne State students are welcome to join in on Nov. 5 and 6 for an interactive design thinking workshop focused on creating solutions to problems you care about. This workshop will use human-centered design principles and rapid ideation to help students generate solutions to a real-life sustainability challenge: How can people create and consume goods that are renewable, repairable, reusable and recyclable?

Participants are eligible to apply for hundreds of dollars in micro-grants to improve their chances of competing for over $200,000 in prize funding through the Solv[ED] Youth Innovation Challenge.

You don’t need to have an idea or be working on a project to participate in this workshop. This is a great opportunity for those who are just getting started. Come push boundaries, gain new insights and have fun!
