I thought it would be great to turn in-house and look to innovation that is occurring right here on the Notre Dame campus. You all might know that, last year, the Gigot Center closed and the IDEAs Center was instituted at Innovation Park. Here is some news about the opening of the IDEAs Center. Recently the IDEAs Center has made news by bringing the Chainsmokers to South Bend to kick off their IDEAs week and raise awareness of their program. If you’re a student with an idea, you can submit your idea here. Several great ideas have come out of the IDEAs Center, including a medical device that makes getting shots easier, a speaker in a weird shape, and some fun games and whatnot.
I really appreciate that Notre Dame’s campus has the IDEA Center where students can submit their ideas. It is both beneficial to students and Notre Dame’s ability to have a stake in innovation!
