AIAA Houston Innovation Workshop

What?

AIAA Houston Section Workshop on Multiple Aspects of Innovation at NASA JSC will be held at the Gilruth Center.

Background and Objective

The concept of innovation has been a vital component of human progress throughout the history of the species. However, in the recent years, the pace of innovation has increased at a rate that would have been unimaginable only a few decades earlier. Researchers around the world are studying this phenomenon, in an attempt to come up with creative new solutions pertaining a wide array of human activities. Countless economies have flourished because companies and governments have implemented innovative technologies, methods, techniques, protocols, processes, and ideas to develop and improve their products and services. JSC and its support community of contractors and universities strongly support and encourage innovation in numerous different areas, both inside and outside of the field of spaceflight. This workshop will facilitate dialogue among various JSC entities regarding recent accomplishments, their potential implications, and plans for the future of innovation at and around JSC.

Workshop Theme: Yesterday and Tomorrow

Why should I attend?

You will gain knowledge about innovation which will propel you to a great future. You will gain motivation to be innovative. You will get a Certificate of Completion and we will inform your Supervisor if you want.

Also, take a look at the importance of innovation (MS Word) and “Importance of Innovations in Human Ecosystem” (MS Word).
