Let's Innovate
How it Started
Prior to college I gained impactful design experience from my time spent on the FIRST Robotics Team, The Western Mass 3d Printing Collective, and my passion for creating 3D art. Unfortunately, there were no opportunities for students at Merrimack to develop our design skills until senior year, and I knew first hand how vital of a learning opportunity it is to take an idea from concept to fabrication.
Thus, I took it upon myself to solve this structural problem by creating a new student led organization called “Let’s Innovate.”
“Let’s Innovate” has become Merrimack College’s premier product innovation club, and in 2022, it received the top leadership award for all clubs at the college. Together with my fellow club officers, I created a safe environment for students’ imaginations to run wild and for new products to be developed by applying engineering principles and learning through failures. All successful designs begin with failed prototypes, and most importantly, the best learning is achieved through this process of iteration. Because most students had little to no design experience, my board and I became their teachers, guiding them through the design process and fueling their excitement for engineering creativity and, of course, innovation.
