Living Labs and Student Innovation at GT
Abstract:
In this talk we will give a brief overview of living labs at Georgia Tech and introduce the Research Network Operations Center (RNOC) and the Institute for People and Technology (IPaT). We will cover the various resources available to the students, staff and faculty at Georgia Tech and delve briefly into several initiatives including GT Journey, Midtown Alliance, Magic Window, GT mobile. Finally, we will introduce the Convergence Innovation Competition (CIC) and the categories and timeline for the Spring 2015 CIC.
