Foundry Idea Fest
Thursday October 15th is the Foundry’s first ever IDEA FEST! Join us for a celebration of ideation and the intersections at which great ideas are born. This three-part event will start with a crash course on ideation from guest speaker and Batten Fellow of Entrepreneurship Chic Thompson, an expert on creativity and all things ideation. We’ll build from his inspiration with Idea Pit, a rapid ideation workshop with prizes where teams generate totally new ideas on the spot. Bring your own ideas, too! Part three will bring it to a close with Feedback Loops, where you’ll have the opportunity to get iterative feedback on your own ideas in a speed-dating style lightning round. Come meet new friends, hear new ideas, and maybe come up with some of new ones of your own!
Food will be provided.
