The Inventors Program aims to increase student engagement in STEM and entrepreneurship through authentic experiential learning opportunities. Our Program offers practicum courses (NSC 325), design sprints, industry networking events, and showcase opportunities.
The Spring 2021 STEM for National Policy course with the CIA might be of particular interest to International Relations and Global Studies students as it will allow for small group working time with experts in policy and government research (CIA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, etc) as they address issues right at the intersection of policy and practice for emerging science and technology applications.
