VISION - VOCATION - VALUE
The Carver Innovation Center is designed to create leadership, retention, advancement, hiring pathways, and inclusion in technology-based opportunities to communities ripe with innovation. Adding the church as a “primary pillar” to the existing (3) pillars of the tech ecosystem (academic, corporate, entrepreneurship), thereby helping it to “grow and thrive” across a broadened spectrum of potential for technology.
Incubate 300
Leveraging Technology for Innovation
Prophetic visionary Dr. Bill Winston sees "..300 inventions created in the CIC4T." Echoing George Washington Carver's feats of innovation which produced 300 patented uses of the peanut, Incubate 300 is CIC4T's vision to support innovators with their efforts to "design, develop, and launch" the next wave of solutions the world awaits. With the same Spirit of Vision and Invention, Innovation 300 Cohorts, Design/Ideation Workshops, Hackathons, Workshops/Training, Pitch Development, and ultimately, access to venture capital will be available to our Incubate 300 Community. (Be sure to check back with us about the Incubate 300 Launch)

Innovative equipment and resources
The vision of the Carver Innovation Center is to
enable creators, inventors, small businesses, and hobbyists to use their imagination to bring their ideas to life
3D Printing - 3D Printing is the process in which material is joined of solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object by successfully adding materiel layer by layer
Laser Cutting - Lasers are playing an ever-expanding role in material processing, from new product development to high volume manufacturing. A laser is a device that emits a beam of coherent light through an optical amplification process.
Vinyl Cutting - 3D Printing is the process in which material is joined of solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object by successfully adding materiel layer by layer.
About Us
The Carver Innovation Center is the manifested vision of our leader and visionary Dr. Bill Winston, named in honor of the great African-American scientist, inventor and agricultural genius, Dr. George Washington Carver. Carver said that when he entered his laboratory, which he called, "God's Little Workshop," he would instantly be inspired to create something new.
The vision of the Carver Innovation Center is to enable creators, inventors, small businesses, and hobbyists to use their imagination to bring their ideas to life using innovative equipment and resources. The center is designed to meet these needs by providing state-of-the-art equipment and training that makes rapid prototyping and product fabrication accessible. This equipment includes a Stratasys 3D Printer (for making prototypes of new products); a Universal Laser System to cut and design on a variety of materials that includes but is not limited to wood, stone, glass, and acrylic; and a Roland Vinyl Cutter, the ultimate companion for print and cuts jobs. As the space continues to grow, so will our list of equipment availble to the public.
The Carver Innovation Center can support you in bringing your ideas into reality through a variety of services. We offer free consultations with engineering and business experts to help you move forward with your ideas that you are passionate about. To get foundational knowledge and hands-on experience with our equipment we host trainning workshops reqularly. For someone not inclined to learn about the equipment for themselves we also offer some on-demand design and fabrication services. We are able to accomodate a wide variety of individuals or groups from the solo entrepreneur developing the prototype for their next big product to school groups looking for hands-on and engaging STEM workshops.
Workshops and Training
Social innovation Hackathons:
Gain new understandings of the design process - and come up with innovative concepts to solve pressing problems and societal issues such as reentry, justice reform, food deserts, youth involvement, and church engagement.
Working in teams, participants will design prototypes (apps, websites, and other technologies - as well as consider new social impact ventures) that imagine and enable ways to deepen encounters with Jesus, relationships with each other, and/or make a kingdom difference. All are welcome. Technologists, creatives, faith leaders, church staff, and individuals who are curious about the ways we can use technology to create good in the world will find this a particularly rewarding experience.
