Innovation Fellowships 2022

In July and August 2022, this inaugural cohort of 8 Innovation Fellows spent 6 weeks learning and applying design thinking and lean startup skills in the educational/library space

We’ve hired this cohort to help develop the next generation of innovators working to expand access to education. Starting July 5, the Fellows will have three weeks of full-time instruction. Some of it will be a bit classroom-like, but a lot of it will be supervised solo and group exercises in topics like application prototyping, user research, business modeling, and structured brainstorming. For the last three weeks of the fellowships, after the instruction, the Fellows will be up-to-speed on these methods, and they’ll work in teams to apply them to some of the challenges ITHAKA faces.
