Aside from this opportunity, faculty are given the ability to participate with our Air Force Cyberworx lab and its associated projects as well as with AFWERX. From the Cadet perspective, however, the majority of our faculty are not involved with these innovative opportunities. Although the Air Force encourages innovation for all Airmen, our campus should start encouraging its faculty to innovate and think disruptively more often.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-5a3b7d48-7fff-98ed-a793-60ae668685b5"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Air Force Academy has a facility it calls Cyberworx, which is a space on campus where faculty, students, and other military personnel have the ability to combine experience with world-class technology in an effort to tackle problems the Air Force faces every day. This environment encourages design thinking so that Cadets and faculty can fail fast and often, in order to consequently succeed more quickly and frequently. Our Cyberworx facility has recently announced plans to expand into a new and improved building that will, to an even greater extent, promote disruptive and innovative thinking for our future Air Force leaders.</span></span>

At this location, cadets can receive sponsorship and funding to perform innovative research projects over the summer. They can also utilize this resource to work on independent research project during the academic year.</span></span>
