Innovation Academy Highlights

During your two weeks on the University of Georgia campus, you can look forward to participating in a wide range of activities, challenges, and immersive innovation workshops, including:

• The I-District Challenge This program-long challenge will test your ability to put all of your new skills, techniques, and knowledge together to construct human-centered solutions to problems facing the greater Athens, GA community. You’ll work in teams over several days and, at the end of the challenge, everyone will display their hard work and proposed solutions for fellow students, program faculty, and staff members from the Innovation District.

• An Evening with the Experts Spend an evening flexing your networking skills at this mocktail networking reception. You’ll mingle with leading visionaries from the UGA faculty, staff, and Innovation District network to learn more about the people behind industry-changing innovations. You’ll also meet with student members of UGA’s prestigious Industry Fellows program.

• Multiple Skill Workshops These workshops will provide you with the practical skills you’ll need to bring your creative ideas to life. Topics include: Let Data do the Driving, an exploration of data as science and how the digital age is fueled by data; Always Be Growing, an exploration of fixed vs growth mindsets and how to cultivate life-long learning; and Land That Internship, an exploration of the art of professional self-presentation with a focus on resume building, portfolio construction, and interpersonal skill development.
