WIL 110 - Spark Challenge

2 credits (Spring)

Students are provided with a framework and guidance as they research and present solutions to social problems in the community using a hybrid approach based on applied anthropology, design thinking, and policy analysis. Students may focus on issues they have identified themselves or tackle an issue identified by a Grinnell community organization. While not required, all students are encouraged to pitch their solutions for the chance to win up to $10,000 as part of the Wilson Center’s SPARK Challenge.

Prerequisite: None.
Note: All SPARK participants must enroll in the class for credit or as an audit. S/D/F only.
Instructor: Roper
