Fellow:Gregory Wilson

I am a currently a University Innovation Fellow and PhD student at the University of Georgia. My field of study is in Learning, Design, and Technology in the College of Education with a specialization in engineering education. I have a background in computer science with a BS from Georgia Tech and a MS from Virginia Tech.

My research involves studying and developing informal learning environments that exposes business, engineering, art, technology, and science students to interdisciplinary collaboration, challenge-based learning, entrepreneurship, and design thinking. I hope to uncover guidelines to what tools, spaces, and contexts are needed for a successful environment. It is expected that implementation of these learning environments would increase students' engagement in solving society's toughest problems.

Because of my experience researching educational theory and diverse education environments, skills in programming, and growing entrepreneurial mindset I can do learning environment design consulting better than other instructional technologists.

My mission is to empower people to make great products that affect the world.
