Welcome to UW-MANIAC!

What is UW-MANIAC? UW-MANIAC (Madison Area Network for Innovation & Collaboration) represents a network of continued collaborative learning and growth. This unique partnership includes a diverse group of UW-Madison departments and academic perspectives, as well as those from the private and non-profit sector. We host several events a year around a wide variety of topics, including the “Innovation and Collaboration Learning Café Series," a creative learning space that teaches creativity tools in an applied manner, a "Breakfast Series" in which members share inspiring ideas and creative approaches to work, and other opportunities to meet and share ideas, both through face-to-face conversation and virtual dialogue. Feel free to utilize this online community to share reflections, ask questions, incubate an idea, and re-connect with those friendly faces from the other events. For additional information, please contact Harry Webne-Behrman, UW Office of Human Resource Development, at 608-262-9934 or hwebnebehrman@ohr.wisc.edu.

UW Innovation Days - Feb 10-11

The UW-Madison College of Engineering hosts an annual inventions student competition that is in focus these next two days. If you have a chance to check it out, please do so. You can also learn more about this annual event at: http://innovation.wisc.edu/

Our group needs to find better ways to connect with this initiative... each year, a number of really interesting student projects emerge, some of which become viable as products that are adopted in industry. In a number of impressive ways, the College of Engineering engages its students in collaborative, team-based learning activities that prepare them to work in fields that increasingly require such skills.
