The Berea Innovation Studio (BIS) is inspired by the need to provide Berea College students from STEAM disciplines a platform to interact with peers on idea-generation, prototype creation, and fostering innovation skills.&nbsp; As innovation becomes essential for competitive and successful organizations and entrepreneurs, we recognize the importance of the BIS in exposing Berea College students to the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship, and creating an environment that nurtures the innovative energy and entrepreneurial spirit on campus. The BIS will be a collaborative space where students of all majors can design, think and develop projects with their peers. Finally, the BIS strives to inspire the innovative spirit in all Berea college students, widening their personal and professional horizon, and building a national reputation for the college.
