i2Planet is a disruptive innovation course that challenges all students' knowledge, abilities and skills to create a new way of thinking and more disruptive solutions. I2Planet is inspired by the Terraforming method. Students are put in the context of having to go to another planet (Planet B) to solve some specific challenges around survival, society organizations and extreme environmental conditions. Students need to bring their knowledge and expertise around engineering, innovation, design, business and explore a new way of thinking. They learn how to tackle complex challenges and build hypothesis in high levels of uncertainty while they work in interdisciplinary teams of 5-6 people.
i2Planet sprint is fully integrated into all three Fusion Point courses during the visit to IdeaSquare at CERN. Integrating i2Planet across all three courses created a unifying, future-oriented challenge connecting science, technology, design, and business. It offered students an immersive environment to develop critical competencies such as managing uncertainty, thinking systemically, and collaborating effectively across disciplines, while tailoring the learning objectives to each program’s specific focus.
