IDEAS Extra-Curricular Activities

BFAB (Bucknell Fabrication Workshop): A multi-day workshop experience that emphasizes the use of product development tools that will help students to develop functional prototypes of their ideas and learn how to bring their ideas to market through the product development process. 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.

Interdisciplinary student teams are provided

with a challenge for which they must compete

against each other to design and fabricate a

solution.

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.
