Innovation Fellowships 2023

In June, July, and August 2023, this cohort of 4 Innovation Fellows spent 9 weeks learning and applying design thinking and lean startup skills in the educational/library space

We hired this cohort to help develop the next generation of innovators working to expand access to education. In June, the Fellows had three weeks of full-time instruction. Some of it was a bit classroom-like, but a lot of it was supervised solo and group exercises in topics like application prototyping, user research, business modeling, and structured brainstorming. In July and August, after the instruction, the Fellows were up-to-speed on these methods, and they’ve worked in teams to apply them to some of the real challenges ITHAKA faces.
