Innovation in Action

By Andrew Wyder

If the work that was presented during the Grainger Computing Innovation Prize competition and at Innovation Day was any indication, the next generation of Illinois Tech graduates already has a strong handle on creating community-focused, sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing our communities. Student teams offered creative technology solutions, including the winning team’s sustainable digital currency, during the Grainger competition, while students worked in multidisciplinary teams to solve real-world problems facing businesses in Bronzeville and beyond during the fall 2021 semester Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program and then highlighted the results during its end-of-semester showcase.
