Innovation Incubator Call to Participate
Do you want to participate in a collaborative process to tackle the above question? Here’s how!
The CTL Innovation Incubator engages collaborative teams of faculty, students, and staff in cycles of design thinking to develop innovative ideas for teaching and learning with technology. Anyone who teaches, learns, or works in the College of Arts & Sciences at CU Boulder can participate in the CTL Innovation Incubator 2023-26 idea submission process. A total of $200,000 is available to award to up to four interdisciplinary teams over the three-year funding period.
The CTL Innovation Incubator supports the design process for new projects in the early stages of growth, providing key resources to participating teams. Join us as we center design in self-reflection and empathy.**
- Self-reflection: Practice self-awareness by investigating how identity, values, emotions, biases, assumptions, and situatedness might impact the design process.
- Empathy: Understand the experience, emotions, and motivations of those being designed for or, better yet, designed with.
- Ideation: Generate as many inclusive solutions to the challenge as possible in a safe, collaborative, and multifaceted design environment.
- Iteration: Develop artifacts or experiences that test concepts and elicit meaningful feedback from users.
- Activation: Continuously improve the project through deep engagement in the design cycle while integrating inputs from users and the community.
The Timeline
The idea submission timeline charts an open and collaborative submission process. As a participant, or team of participants, in the CTL Innovation Incubator community, you are invited to share your idea on a visible platform. Here other community members may read and add generative comments to your idea draft before you make your final submission. This is an exciting opportunity to engage in a process that breaks us out of the traditional research grant model, allows us to garner input from peers and gain new perspectives you may not typically encounter in your teaching and learning practice.
