Upcoming Events

IDEATOR Labs

Office of Technology Transfer
Blackstone Launchpad
IDEATOR Labs aims to empower students to use their individual skillset and passion to make the world a better place. We focus on helping students shape how they look at problems and build the necessary skills to turn those problems into solutions.
Learning to see solutions, where others can only see problems, is an invaluable skill set whether you are considering starting your own company or working for an existing one. The skills you will learn from events sponsored by IDEATOR Labs will transcend all aspects of life and further develop your knowledge, both personally and professionally.
These events are open to all students and majors and are a great way to meet new people and learn tangible skills.

Personal Values and Principles Exploration Workshop

Values are empowering. You can be much more in control of your life when you are clear about your values. Values are guides, supplying you with an internal compass by which to navigate the course of your daily life. The clearer you are about your values, the easier it is to stay on your chosen path. This kind of guidance is especially important in volatile and uncertain times. When daily challenges can throw you off course, it’s crucial to have the means to tell which
way is north, south, east, and west. In this interactive
workshop, you will explore your personal values and
principles and discover how to let them guide your
time at MSU and beyond. You willbe given copies of
your top five values so you can keep themclose as you
maneuver through all aspects of your life.
