At the Stoughton Area School District Board of Education meeting Monday night, the school district provided progress updates on Innovation Center Stoughton (ICS), according to the Stoughton Courier Hub. ICS is a space that facilitates collaborative efforts between the school district, the city, area businesses, and entrepreneurs.
ICS was inspired by the success of the Fab Lab at Stoughton High School, a 10-year-old academic and creative space.
ICS pilot programs include:
- Guided Whiteboard, which accommodates teams of five–10 people in defining problems and thinking creatively to reach executable solutions;
- EntrePeerNeurs, which provides collaborative mentorship opportunities for entrepreneurs, makers, and small business owners; and
- Fab Lab workshops, which focuses on resetting teams facing obstacles or stagnation.
