Impact Lab
In the Impact Lab, CNS students tackle real-life challenges and make an impact with partners in private, public and nonprofit sectors.
Tackling Real-World Challenges
Impact Lab, formerly Inventors Program, is an immersive experience that fuels innovation for the public good, providing students a unique opportunity in collaboration with off-campus partners to create meaningful impact while building real-world skills for their future, while earning course credit.
Students learn to navigate ambiguity, generate powerful insights and iterate bold ideas alongside community, industry and government partners. Driven by their desire to make a real impact, students build the skills, mindsets and confidence to lead innovation that matters – in their careers and in the world.
