Students Experience

Students experience learning in a collaborative and project-based environment. They are exposed to careers in technology and business and provided learning experiences in Agile topics such as Scrum, which can be used to tackle complex projects. These are important skills that can help students now and in the future.

Module 1 Lean Creative Thinking by 5 Saturdays
The 5 Saturdays lean creative thinking is a pathway for innovation through the art of storytelling. I believe we were born with the ability to think creatively. Most of us can apply creative thinking to situations that require our imagination to look at many possible answers over one. Creative thinking leads to innovative ideas that are the results of brainstorming individually or with a team of people. Narrated by: Dr. Dave Cornelius
