Workshop Overview:
Innovation is at the core of who we are at the University of Waterloo – it’s the cornerstone upon which we were built and we continue to pride ourselves in sustaining this powerful cultural element. But how do we do this? What creates an environment that transforms and empowers ideas into meaningful outcomes? In this workshop, we explore the partnership between innovation and collaboration as an integral part of our community experience. We will discuss how to tap into our collective curiosity to build a mindset focused on continuous improvement in the spirit of connecting imagination with impact.
This workshop includes a short breakout room experience to complete a small group activity.
