Design Thinking is human-centered approach to problem solving and innovation. It cycles through five main processes: empathy, define, ideate, prototype, and test. It's the foundation of our work at the Baker Institute and we love to share it across campus.

The best way to spend your summer is an immersive, full time learning experience where participants apply design thinking and lean startup methods to develop solutions to big problems and test potential business ideas. We want students who are passionate about learning the foundational skills of entrepreneurship while working on problems that matter.

In the Summer of 2020, the Baker Institute and the Lehigh@NasdaqCenter will partner to send 8-10 students to India, Germany, Rwanda, and the UK where they will experience firsthand India’s exciting startup ecosystem.

Through a series of competitions and a final pitch to a board of experts, the EUREKA! program offers a platform for students, faculty and alumni to work creatively toward needed business proposals. The EUREKA! program is open to all Lehigh students, faculty and staff, so long as each team has a student as its primary member.

LehighSiliconValley brings Lehigh undergraduate and graduate students together with alumni in Silicon Valley, the hub of entrepreneurship, for a week-long immersion into new-venture creation. Students are focusing on real companies, real players, and real situations in real time.

Start Up Job Fair is an annual event that bridges the talent pool of Lehigh University students and startups across different fields. 

The format of the event will allow employers to present a short, speech-format, introduction to their organization (Powerpoints will not be accepted), followed by opportunities for students and company representatives to network and discuss intern and full-time job opportunities.

Our annual celebration of entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity!
