This cocurricular experience engages students who are passionate about making a difference in their community but are unsure of where to begin. Students investigate a social challenge in Boston, connect with local experts, participate in workshops, and conduct research. Students use a variety of tools to map out underlying causes and stakeholders and to identify gaps for innovative ideas. The experience has a rotating yearly topic aligned with Innovate@BU's annual local community challenge and includes community treks during spring break, reflective activities, and a final presentation. Effective Spring 2022, this course fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: Creativity/Innovation.
