Vanderbilt's Innovation Center
The Wond'ry equips Vanderbilt students, faculty, and staff to explore ideas from conception to realization. Through a lens of human-centered design and design thinking, the Wond'ry teaches participants of our curricular and extracurricular programs how to examine an idea, determine needed resources, predict possible roadblocks, and develop strategies for advancement in order to optimize the idea's likelihood of success.
Creating an Innovation Ecosystem
To support creative dexterity across the region, we don’t take direct responsibility for innovating. Rather, and more importantly, we take responsibility for identifying and removing barriers that stop innovation.
