Overview of class

In this experiential class, students on interdisciplinary teams will address critical challenges facing the Great Lakes ecosystem (and beyond!). Collaborating closely with external partners, students will employ lean startup principles, harnessing insights from subject matter experts in entrepreneurship, science, technology, and engineering to innovate new products, services, or technologies that help solve some of our biggest environmental and climate challenges. Through an identified problem set, students will have the opportunity to tackle issues that not only affect the Great Lakes but also impact broader areas of climate, sustainability, and social impact.

This application-based class is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
