Innovation U
The Edmonton Public Library and Edmonton Unlimited have teamed up for another series of the Innovator in Residence program, offering drop-in office hours with Edmonton Unlimited CEO & staff, curated resource lists and a four-class innovation series delivered in-person and online to Edmontonians with big ideas! The classes consist of selections of material from Edmonton Unlimited programming that are modified to appeal to a broad audience and those interested in learning about innovation and entrepreneurship basics. Each class can be taken on a stand-alone basis or in sequence and is designed to build upon one another.
These series will introduce participants to Edmonton Unlimited Foundational Programs concepts and dive into the heart of urban innovation through city-centric solutions. These series are great primers to Edmonton Unlimited programming. When a learner successfully completes all four classes in the series, they earn an Innovation U digital certificate.
