Message from the Consulting Director:
We have a number of issues that arise in today’s society. From the need for wearable health technology to transmitting data in a safer manner. All these issues have one common denominator- Technology. Your job is to team up with your classmates (or a team outside of class) and, using technological innovation, solve a problem. You will then present the innovative solution to the class. The class will then vote on the most innovative project.

Module 1
Module Name: What Is Innovation?
Discover and define what is Innovation. You will then form a team and define your innovative ideas. You will probably need to come up with several (or hundreds) of ideas before you narrow it to a few. In order to innovate something, you will need a problem to solve. Research what types of problems are currently facing IT users.
Task 1
Form a team and explore new technologies and uses of technology. Decide on a problem to solve with technology.
