Innovation Incubator

 

With a goal to infuse our educational efforts with technology to achieve an active, experiential, and research-based approach to learning, the ASSETT Innovation Incubator engages collaborative teams of faculty, students, and staff in cycles of design thinking to develop innovative ideas for teaching and learning with technology. Funded teams work in three year innovation periods supported by the ASSETT innovation catalyst and other team members.

Our Mission

The mission of the ASSETT Innovation Incubator is to improve the undergraduate experience by making learning more active, accessible and inclusive.

Our Values

Experimentation: Calculated risk-taking leads to unexpected discovery that can generate new knowledge and new ways of doing.
Failure: Valuable insights are gained and exciting new directions taken when things “don’t work."
Emergence: New ideas need time to develop — oftentimes unexpectedly through both undetectable evolution and surprising bursts.

Our Vision

We envision a diverse community of learners — composed of students, faculty, and staff — who are engaged in purposeful, collaborative, creative, and impactful learning experiences.

Funded Projects must be:

Student Centered

Boundary Breaking

Actionable

Scalable
