Innovation

Creating new ideas that actually make things better.

Why It Matters

Innovation is how the world changes—apps get built, problems get solved, and boring stuff gets upgraded.


It’s not just thinking big—it’s turning those ideas into something real.

  1. You ask, “What if we did it differently?”

  2. You love finding better, faster, or cooler ways to do things

  3. You take risks and try stuff, even if it might fail

  1. Think of something that bugs you—then brainstorm 3 new ways to fix it

  2. Build or test a new idea, even if it’s small

  3. Talk to people who think differently than you do
