Do your innovative ideas get the attention they deserve? Would you like to become more innovative? In this interactive innovation tournament, we will collectively generate hundreds of new ideas to present, evaluate, refine, and ultimately transform into system concepts that solve relevant and challenging problems. We will discuss techniques and tools for brainstorming and concept development, including the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Blue Team process, and provide mentoring, presentation skills training, and lectures in advanced technology across diverse fields. This is the perfect opportunity to practice innovation and hone your skills for future research, development, and entrepreneurship.
