Tech Solutions

Catalog description

This class is a project-driven, experiential learning Stern Solutions class. The underlying theme is Innovating in Existing Organizations. The main component is a small group (~3 students), semester-long, company sponsored project to design and build a working technical product (minimum viable product level). This project requires a significant technical component, so admission to the class will be determined in large part based on existing technical skills. The class includes discussions around the key challenges to innovating in existing (often large) organizations, includes guest speakers to discuss their experiences in leading innovation in firms, and substantial time allocated to project work.
