Do you want to experience international collaboration and be part of a team that addresses a Sustainable Development Goal challenge?
As part of ASU’s mission to address global sustainable development challenges, the Rob Walton College of Global Futures offers a unique 3 credit undergraduate/graduate course to all students at ASU, Future 17: Global Innovation Challenge.
This is a fully online, and hands on, project-based course which features multinational teams who collaborate to deliver projects requested by non-profit organizations, companies, and governments that in some way address the SDGs.
Students collaborate online with universities around the world. The University of Exeter in the United Kingdom organizes the program: Future17 in collaboration with QS Impact: QS ImpACT. 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 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.
