In July 2024, UConn and URI students participated in the Navy STEM program, working on projects in the Innovation Shop. The Innovation Shop is a valuable resource for both the university and the community. We hope to foster increased collaboration, the pursuit of knowledge, and a sense of excitement within the UConn community in the quest for learning. We believe this resource, the Innovation Shop, will become a hub for innovative ideas and collaboration between academics both within the UConn community and other institutions of higher learning.
