Prior knowledge not required! In preparation for Disruptor Games, students will participate in a workshop led by LeBow and industry partners to learn about various disruptive technologies relevant to the industry partner.

Following the workshop, student teams will compete to propose how best to use one or more of the technologies to solve a business problem presented by the industry partner.
