Is the doom and gloom of environmental problems weighing you down? Be part of the solution as a student in this course! Each weekly seminar will inspire you to make an impact as experts discuss the circular economy, water innovation, land use, greening the built environment, and more! Instructed by Deb Hagen-Lukens, this course helps students discover how cleantech and innovative solutions are addressing environmental issues and learn how to be a part of the solution. Inter-disciplinary teams form to put inspiration to action by creating project-based solutions to environmental issues, are coached throughout the quarter by environmental professionals or entrepreneurs, then present to classmates and judges. Open to all majors. Recommended for juniors, seniors, and graduate students. Questions? E-mail Lauren Brohawn at brohal@uw.edu.
