2026 INNO SUMMER INSTITUTE
INNO-Vention
Course Description
In this course, students learn the full design process, from identifying needs to planning effective solutions. They practice writing strong, focused problem statements and develop foundational coding skills through guided activities. Throughout the course, students build creativity, critical thinking, and technical confidence. For the final capstone project, each student selects a topic of personal interest and designs, codes, and refines their own project over four days, applying everything they have learned in a hands-on, independent challenge.
