Drake University Innovation Studio
A place for creators
and innovators
The Drake Innovation Studio’s goal is to help foster creativity and entrepreneurial spirit on Drake University’s campus. We want to help students make connections on campus and in the Des Moines community.
We host events related to technology and creativity, and our space in Meredith Hall room 203 serves as a meeting and creative space.
