Join us for the 2nd session of Innovation 102 at the Intel Campus (Dalian DDA). This course leads attendees through structured ideation methods, "Mathovation," and evolutionary innovation, and teaches the concept of how the brain does "far transfer" in order to get ideas. The class will capture ideas, so attendees should bring real problems that these methods will then be applied to.

-Use the methods and capture your ideas
