Innovation teams is MIT’s original Deep Tech to Impact Innovation Factory. in iTeams you learn the skills through a combination of practice and lectures, while working with an actual MIT breakthrough coming from one of our partner MIT research groups and labs. In this course you will: - work with a multii-discipline team on an actual MIT technology project coming from an MIT lab or on a problem in need of technology. We will present and you will choose projects over the first two weeks; - learn how to scope, explore, and solve problems with technology; - learn the skills needed to invent, develop, and stress-test technology organizations that fail to fail; - and learn and practice skills to scope opportunities for technology that are in high demand from corporations, innovation groups, government, as well as the most advanced venture capital firms operating venture invention laboratories. Register for 10.807 / 2.907/ 15.371 Innovation Teams. We experimented a lot during the pandemic with new forms of teaching and engaging that make the most of being in person. The key, it turns out, is to make everything live and lively. Join us for the first class on September 8th at 9am in 56-154 and find out how we wil play together this semester. Want to know more now?
