Innovation Open Houses are “Tech Trek” style visits to area companies arranged by Scott Kirsner, tech blogger and author of the Boston Globe’s The Innovation Economy. To get involved, join the Innovation Open Houses Facebook Group.
More details – The Innovation Open House Series offers currently-enrolled students the opportunity to visit interesting companies and meet founders and senior executives (primarily in Eastern Massachusetts, though potentially in other parts of New England, too.) The goal is to create connections between students and the region’s innovation economy in an interactive, casual, fun environment. What this isn’t: a job or internship interview… a lecture… part of your coursework/research (unless you want it to be)… boring.
We invite all students at New England schools to join the group to stay up-to-date about events in the series (and have a say about how it is run). Also welcome are employees of companies that plan to host open houses and others who’d like to help spread the word (and shape) the IOH Series.
