We then have a great series of workshops, Fall Back Into Innovation, including Design Thinking, led by Brandeis Makerlab founder Ian Roy, How to Get Funded, and Business Model Generation. Each week, our team will share strategies, skills, and inspiration.
We’re also pleased to introduce our new Spark Program Director, Juan Giraldo, who comes to us as a:

A Look Back at Summer 2021 Innovation
Summer was a busy time for us at the Brandeis Innovation Center. It’s been a packed season of hard work on behalf of the innovation ecosystem on campus.
We re-launched our video series of interviews with innovation experts, with expanded content.
Sprout 2021 teams continued to develop breakthrough inventions in biotechnology, materials science, and healthtech.
The Summer Speaker Series featured sessions from industry leaders, attracting record attendance from the Brandeis community.
Spark 2020 teams continued their grant-funded work, with many teams seeing significant progress towards launching their startups.
It was wonderful to see alumni join our Summer Speaker Series, proving that innovation never stops for Brandesians. Whether near or far, a regular supporter or a new connection, seeing the Brandeis Innovation community come together online was a highlight of Summer 2021.
