Summary

With the rapid changes this spring, most of us faced the challenges of teaching classes remotely and managing students across multiple time zones. These challenges to our lives—the way we teach, where we teach, and whether we teach at all—offer new opportunities for Lean Launchpad education, for us as educators and to our students.

This event served as an opportunity to share what we have learned about Lean Launchpad education during the global pandemic. The conversation became the basis for the Lean Innovation Educators Summit in December 2020.
