IDEA stands for Innovation and Design Experience for All, and it is our signature design thinking and innovation course at Bryant. It is a 1-credit, graded, required course. The 2026 IDEA Program will take place on campus January 14 - 16, 2026. 

All students enrolled in IDEA must attend ONE Orientation session this October. 

At IDEA Orientation, you will hear important details about the IDEA Program and you will be given a list of design challenges that will run in this year's program. Orientation is the only opportunity you will have to rank your preferences for the projects you will be working on in January. 

Be on the lookout for an upcoming email and Canvas announcement with more information.
