OUR F OUR FOCUS: OCUS:
Currently There are some existing spaces that foster innovation, but these spaces are not sufficient and not inclusive, in part because they are not accessible to most young people.
We found out:
However To ensure that technologies are needs responsive, innovators should broaden their co-design process to include the very people that their solutions hope to assist.
