Overview:
Overview:
YSpace, an innovation incubator, supports startups and students in bringing new ideas to life through entrepreneurship, technology, and design. It provides hands-on learning, mentorship, and access to cutting-edge tools that help transform creative concepts into real-world solutions.
At our SHSM ICE (Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship) training event co-hosted with YSpace, students will explore the world of IoT and Robotics through human-centered design thinking and hands-on prototyping. They will learn how to design robots and connected systems that solve real problems for real people, combining creativity, collaboration, and innovation.
This experience gives students a chance to think like engineers and designers, experiment with technology, and imagine how robotics and IoT can make everyday life smarter and more inclusive.
