Innovative solutions:
You will work collaboratively in groups to develop an innovative solution to an identified need or opportunity. Each group will follow the problem-solving methodology to create a solution to the need or opportunity using innovative or emerging technology. Each group will also prepare a progress plan to assist in the management of the task.
