Innovation Grand Challenge

Spring 2024 Topic

Human Trafficking

In ENT4601, Innovation Grand Challenge, students work in interdisciplinary teams using innovation frameworks such as Design Thinking and Systems Thinking, to confront a unique grand challenge. The grand challenge is provided by a community partner and will differ from semester to semester. Each team will be made up of specialists (students in relevant majors) with at least one member that is familiar with Design Thinking and/or Systems Thinking. The teams will compete to develop the best solution that is both impactful and feasible. The winning teams will receive awards and recognition. 

The topic for Spring 2024 is Human Trafficking. We will work with the FSU Center for the Advancement of Human Rights to learn about human trafficking and develop solutions to raise awareness and reduce instances of human trafficking.
