This past October, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, along with the University of Illinois System and World Business Chicago, invited 200 top college students from across the country to explore Chicago's vibrant tech scene and attend
Chicago Ideas Week.
Chicago Ideas Week is organized by ThinkChicago and can be thought of like a week-long TED conference, complete with workshops, labs, talks, discussions, and conversations.
Northwestern Master of Engineering Management student
Linus Waltenberger was one of those 200 invitees. Now, after a couple of months to reflect on the experience, Waltenberger took time to talk about Chicago Ideas Week and how it relates to his MEM experience. Read more about his story on our "
Inside the Program" website.
