Sustainable Innovations: Bridging Climate Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship
Class
This interdisciplinary course empowers learners to tackle climate challenges by blending environmental science, cutting-edge technology, and entrepreneurial strategies. Over 12 weeks, students will explore pressing global issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource scarcity. They will learn to design innovative solutions using tools like IoT, robotics, and data analysis, while developing business models and marketing strategies to promote sustainable impact.
In the first six weeks, learners will focus on foundational pathways:
- **Environmental Science**: Investigating ecosystems, climate dynamics, and conservation strategies.
- **Technology**: Applying IoT, robotics, and data tools to create environmental solutions.
- **Business and Marketing**: Crafting sustainable business models and engaging marketing campaigns.
The second six weeks transition to a collaborative **Design Thinking Process**, where students from different pathways join forces to co-create innovative projects addressing real-world challenges. By the end of the course, students will pitch their solutions, demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary collaboration to build a sustainable future.
This course is perfect for aspiring environmentalists, tech enthusiasts, and future entrepreneurs eager to make a difference.
