INV 200 Introduction to Imagination, Design, and Innovation

Innovation is the journey of creating value and meaning through the implementation of new ideas. We develop this practice through the craft and skills of sensemaking and changemaking found in human-centered design and creative problem solving. Through theoretical analysis and hands-on exercises and projects, this course introduces the innovative mindset and situates it in the context of a student’s major.
