Embark on an exciting learning journey, where we explore innovative and disruptive technologies, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Challenge Based Learning (CBL). This unique learning experience will equip you with valuable knowledge and skills, enabling you to make a difference in today's fast-paced world.

Innovative and disruptive technologies are transforming industries and societies in unprecedented ways. Throughout this module, we will examine various technologies with the potential to disrupt and innovate, understanding that predicting their impact is not always straightforward.

The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals encompass a wide range of critical issues, from climate action to poverty reduction. By studying these goals, you will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges our world faces and identify the specific goal you want to focus on during this module.

Challenge Based Learning is a powerful educational framework that encourages learning through problem-solving and real-world applications. As you navigate through this module, you will be guided in the CBL process, selecting your topic and area of focus. Previous students have found this approach to be engaging and rewarding, as it allows them to tailor their learning experience to their interests.
