W Booth School Community Check-In: Innovation Studio
April 4, 2016 @ 6:00 am - 8:00 pm
W Booth Community Check-In: Guest speaker Ross Rosier of IBM Canada
Friends, family, mentors and local community members are invited to attend an Innovation Studio event held to showcase projects now in development by graduate students enrolled in the W Booth School of Engineering Practice at McMaster University. Attendees will be welcome to ask questions or offer feedback.
Presentations will range in themes from health promotion and safe drinking water to energy conservation and transportation. The common denominator is the application of human-centred design principles to help address the issues of our day. It’s all part of our students’ efforts to tackle significant challenges and to deliver value that has an impact on our world.
Special guest Project Executive Ross Rosier from IBM Canada will share his inside view on the mission and vision of the just-announced centre for healthcare innovation opening in downtown Hamilton later this year.
The centre — a partnership between IBM Canada and Hamilton Health Sciences designed to improve health outcomes and create high quality jobs — will help area hospital clinicians, researchers, academics and entrepreneurs accelerate the development and commercialization of new healthcare innovations.
This FREE Event includes a light dinner and networking.
