Participants of the K-12 Teachers Workshop practiced design thinking and developed ideas on how it might be applied to hybrid learning.
The Lubar Entrepreneurship Center was once again filled with activity this summer and buzzing with innovation and creativity. With one month of summer remaining and a new academic year rapidly approaching, we’d like to take a minute to look back on the summer’s highlights.
