K-WIDE (KEEN Winter Interdisciplinary Design Experience): K-WIDE is a hands-on, multidisciplinary design experience that exposes students to pressing issues at the intersection of global society and technology while instilling an entrepreneurial mindset. Students work together on relevant, real-world problems and see connections between the various skill sets provided by different disciplines. Students grapple with mindsets that will stretch them as designers, value creators, and leaders.

What is an IDEAS Studio?
Students enrolled in the Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, Application and Systems (IDEAS) Studio courses focus on using engineering design to solve real-world, open-ended problems by understanding customer value propositions, learning to be responsive to customer/client needs, and identifying markets. Content is driven by real design problems informed by industry and other for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Sponsors provide funding to cover materials, supplies, site visits, and program administration, making each studio inherently project-based as students work through hands-on design projects. IDEAS Studios: IDEAS Studio 1: Product Archeology IDEAS Studio 2: Build Your Idea IDEAS Studio 3: Concept to Commercialization IDEAS Studio 4: Creative System Design IDEAS Studio 5: Should We Start This Company IDEAS Studio 6: Interdisciplinary Senior Design IDEAS Extra-Curricular Activities: BFAB (Bucknell Fabrication Workshop) K-WIDE (KEEN Winter Interdisciplinary Design Experience) Design Challenges
IDEAS Studio 4: Creative System Design
IDEAS Studio 1: Product Archeology
IDEAS Studio 3: Concept to Commercialization
IDEAS Studio 5: Should We Start This Company?
Throughout this studio, students develop a full
business strategy including business plan,
business model, feasibility evaluation, and
implementation timeline for their own business
idea or aspects of a business plan for a sponsor.
Advancements in technology have enabled
devices to shrink in both size and cost, allowing
wearable tech to become one of the fastest
growing trends. Through the lens of value
creation, students create working prototypes of
their next best idea in wearable tech.
What makes a product tick? Is it just technical or
something more? Students dissect real commercial
products from every angle carefully examining the
history and then make recommendations to the
company on how to make it better.
The first step in invention is having an idea. The
second step is building it. Learn how to take your
ideas from concept to prototype using a wide range of
traditional and advanced fabrication processes.
Design and Innovation. Entrepreneurship for the
developing world. Explore new technological
opportunities for the 4 billion poorest people in the
world through empathy, creativity, and a paradigm shift
in perspective.
IDEAS Studio 2: Build Your Idea
IDEAS Studio 6: Interdisciplinary Senior Design
Students come together with various disciplinary knowledge, skills and competencies to solve a real-world company problem in an interdisciplinary context.
