Innovation & Design

I’m Sarah D’Urzo, IU1 Coordinator for Innovation and Design, supporting innovative learning through multimedia, STEAM, maker education, and community-connected experiences. My work focuses on creating meaningful opportunities for students, educators, and community members to explore, design, and problem-solve together.

I help connect our region to student events, grant opportunities, and professional learning experiences that bring innovation and design into classrooms and community spaces. Whether you’re starting a STEAM or maker project, looking to expand hands-on learning, or seeking new ways to engage learners, I’m here to support you.

Be sure to explore the wide range of resources available—including workshops, lending library tools, grant opportunities, and student outreach programs—all designed to inspire creativity, collaboration, and real-world learning.

Let’s build, create, and innovate—together!
