 * Welcome to the Inventors Workshop!**

The Inventors Workshop is a transformative initiative to train the engineer, scientist, designer, artist, and transdisciplinary active citizen of 2020, and 2100 today. It is envisioned as a resource for students, where they can access unique physical support (materials and machines: advanced prototyping tools, genetic sequencing, high energy electronics, nano-fabrication, altitude chambers, particle accelerators, etc.), as well as conceptual support from inventors-in-residence and inventioneers. The Inventors Workshop seeks to gives students support and opportunities to engage in intrinsically motivated engineering and lifelong learning, while turning their invention concepts into reality. This initiative advances the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges and works with ASU's Grand Challenges Faculty teams and students to advance and realize the mission of the New American University.
