Join us for an Open House at 4 p.m. on Jan. 29, 2025, in the Knight Campus to meet some of the talented founders, instructors, lab managers, advisors, and mentors behind University of Oregon's new Brewing Innovation Minor. An RSVP is required.
The Brewing Innovation Minor uses brewing as backdrop for experiential learning within the innovation process. The minor uses design thinking as an approach to innovation that involves understanding and defining customer needs and the innovation challenge, generating many ideas for addressing that challenge, prototyping ideas, and evaluating possible solutions. The design thinking process is iterative with the results of each step feeding back to inform and improve ideas in the next iteration.
Learn more about this interdisciplinary minor that leverages science and engineering, history, innovation, and storytelling to teach the craft and science of brewing.
