Our Initiatives
Innovate UNCG supports several initiatives that help faculty, staff, students, and community partners turn their ideas into impact.
UNCG ESPORTS – Beyond Gaming
We drive esports initiatives on campus, from cutting-edge gaming events to esports and gaming academic programming. In partnership with Stiegler Ed Tech, we push the limits of competition and academic achievement in the Varsity Esports and STEM League.
Dive into the future of gaming with our Unreal Engine trainings and exhilarating game jams, amplified by our collaborative relationship with Epic Games. And mark your calendars for our standout event – the semesterly E2 Weekend, where esports seamlessly intersects with education and gaming passion meets knowledge pursuit.
Icehouse
Innovate UNCG has partnered with NC Idea and ELI Learning to bring the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program to UNCG faculty, staff, students, and our collaborators.
Innovation Hubs
Using the School of Education as a model, we are establishing Innovation through Impact hubs for each college and school at UNCG. In the hubs, faculty with ideas for impact connect with other innovative faculty in their disciplines. Those hubs connect through Innovate UNCG, bringing innovative faculty across campus together to explore proven strategies for taking ideas to scale, particularly in the context of social innovation and social entrepreneurship.
Spartan Strategies
Spartan Strategies, Inc. (formerly SERVE, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that advances innovative activities that align with UNC Greensboro’s mission. Located on UNCG’s millennial campus, the university-associated entity offers UNCG faculty, staff, and students the flexibility and agility they need to succeed in entrepreneurial efforts.
IMPACT THROUGH INNOVATION COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
Connect with UNCG’s amazing community of innovators and entrepreneurs through Innovate UNCG’s Community of Practice. The Impact Through Innovation (ITI) Community of Practice Platform is a virtual space designed to bring UNCG students and faculty together for social learning through events, training opportunities, and resource sharing. Connect with others in your field and across campus to learn, share, and inspire.
