Meet Our Current 2023-26 Teams
The three teams participating in the 2023-26 CTL innovation incubator were selected by a committee of A&S undergraduate students, faculty, and staff. The Incubator will support their projects while in the early stages of growth, providing key resources to participating teams, and guiding them through a design process grounded in self-reflection and empathy.
The GUT-C (Give Us the Camera) is a mentoring initiative for underrepresented students in the media arts field that addresses inequality at the student level through community building, technical workshops, and professional development opportunities. Funding and human resource support from the Innovation Incubator enables GUT-C to develop its technical training, mutual aid, and mentorship model.

The Innovation Incubator and the Center for Teaching & Learning jointly support the AI Literacy Ambassadors project. The project convenes a cohort of instructors from across campus units focused on AI, teaching, and learning. Each participant is tasked with developing a discipline specific innovation around AI, which can focus on pedagogy and/or instigating related unit level conversations. The project models a program structure that can be expanded to support a wider range of instructors, innovations, and conversations across campus.
