The space is open for one month only but it has given exposure to making opportunities to a new audience who are full of ideas and life experiences. The project board quickly filled after opening with problems presented by both patients and staff of the center. Significant progress was made on moving a number of these projects into a prototyping phase.
A number of workshops were held in addition to many one-on-one conversations and mentoring sessions. Innovation Station has been a great success thanks to the VA center, Local Tech Heros and a substantial group of volunteers
