Questions?



"I want to break out of this learning comfort zone by putting my own innovative ideas or solutions into practice and determining my school experience in a way that I

can gain more real-life involvement, instead of a ‘classroom experience.’”Thursday, March 27, 14


"For me learning isn’t actually measured by a number, but by how much you take away from the lesson, the books, the projects, the experiments. What

lives on with you...this is the real learning."Thursday, March 27, 14


"I believe that the best way to learn something is with experience, and that failure is the best medicine for a person who’s stuck in the ordinary."



"For almost all of my life, I have been avoiding opportunities like joining the Innovation Academy. I’ve always had this inner fear of failure, which stopped me whenever I was about to take risks. Recently, I have grown tired of my own attitude towards life, and am working

on ridding myself of fearing failure."Thursday, March 27, 14


"I know for a fact that if I were to be part of Innovation Academy, I would be the hardest worker and the happiest student."


WHYI InnovationAcademyA Are the IA students a good

fit for your university?

diverse, challenging or fast paced environment.

Colgate's own entrepreneurship program is distinctive in the extraordinary level of

mentoring from our alumni and parents. Though Into Action seems like a natural next

step for a student in your program.

Colgate

goals is to cultivate students who are "engaged minds, inspired leaders, and global

citizens."

Elon




Absolutely. The focus on interdisciplinary work, experiential learning, and internships are all academic opportunities that they will

encounter here at CU Boulder.Colorado




Considering KU's mission of lifting students and society by educating leaders, building

healthy communities, and making discoveries that change the world, the students from the Innovation Academy seem to be a strong fit

for our institution. Particularly for scholarships, we look for students who will

become leaders on our campus.

Kansas




Based on the interdisciplinary and project-based nature of the programs presented, it

seems likely that Innovation Academy students will be inspired by Drexel

University's commitment to research, innovation, entrepreneurship and hands-on

experience through the Drexel Co-op, one of the most respected cooperative education

programs in the United States.
