Clarkson Ignite

Innovation occurs at the intersection of business, engineering, science, and technology. 

Clarkson Ignite serves the entire campus as an innovation ecosystem that connects students to faculty, staff, alumni, and community leaders to gain critical hands-on, creative experience. Located in the Innovation Hub in the Andrew S. Schuler Educational Resource Center (ERC), the Clarkson Ignite department hosts events, workshops, and masterclasses.
