HELIX Summer Institute
August 5, 2022
Free
In our rapidly changing economy, critical thinking and problem-solving enable businesses to pivot and respond to emerging market demands. An innovation mindset also helps generate proactive solutions for current and potential problems.
The sixth annual HELIX Summer Institute is a free, six-day, intensive, virtual “design jam” that will provide you with tools for collaborating and building solutions to pressing social and business challenges. This initiative welcomes participation from students, entrepreneurs, designers, creative thinkers and members of the community.
Lead facilitators will encourage participants to think creatively, try new solutions and pivot based on feedback from real stakeholders.
Seneca’s virtual 2022 HELIX Summer Institute will help entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and others develop an innovation mindset critical to every industry or enterprise.
