Innovation Lab

Developping complex projects requires building interdisciplinary teams. Team members from various fields must learn how to communicate and share knowledge. This is particularly true between physicists and engineers, but also between scientists and project/business managers, among others. We believe that the innovation lab Club is the ideal place to foster the development of such skills.

The Innovation Lab Club has a primary focus on projects related to physics, new technologies (electronics, coding, ...), and science in general. It is open to all students and faculty/staff members at the George Washington University (GW) who want to learn and share. The Club members will meet in the evening to share their ideas, their projects, and possibly seek/propose help from/to others. If you have an idea but you do not know how to implement it technically, you are welcome to join The Club.

The Club is an extra curriculum activity, but it is a particularly useful tool for students innolved in existing projects who are stuck with specific problems or who want to broaden their horizons.

The Innovation Lab provides projection equipment, a classroom space with a white board, as well as electronic workstations (equipped with monitors, Raspberry Pi, Arduinos, FPGA, sensors, ...) to The Club so that members can work on their projects and hack together new ones.

The Club proposes challenges for which members can compete individually or in team in a fair and friendly environment.

Finally, The Club is what the members want it to be.
