ASU students have the opportunity to participate in and earn credit for the Future17 Sustainable Development Goals Challenge through the College of Global Futures.
In coordination with QS ImpACT and a consortium of universities from around the world, students collaborate on impactful, real world projects proposed by companies and organizations. Project themes are related to SDGs.
In addition to making a difference through project outcomes, students gain professional skills in problem solving and collaborating with global partners.
This hands-on approach provides students with practical experience and a firsthand look at the impact their work has on pressing global issues.
Course information
Future17 will run as a full-time course through the School of the Future of Innovation in Society within FIS 294: Introduction to Responsible Innovation, FIS 480: Innovation in Society Studio and FIS 494: Future 17 Global Innovation Challenge available to all interested ASU students on the Tempe campus and online.
After getting paired with a corporation that has its own sustainability questions, I got to work with a diverse team on solving such issues. For me, the real breakthrough moments involved realizing and being surprised at the scale and complexity of the problems the world is facing, especially those issues that perhaps we thought we already had a good handle on.
