Visiting Innovators

Since the Bryan Lab's opening in 2013

The Bryan Innovation Lab’s Visiting Innovators program brings real-world experts to Steward’s campus and provides educational opportunities for our students and families that they would likely not have anywhere else.

The program proudly features national and local experts who are leading thinkers and change-makers in their fields. While on campus, these innovators help students, faculty, and the Richmond community develop a deeper understanding of world issues. Visiting Innovators share their expertise in a variety of ways that highlight thinking “outside the box” — speaking to our students, working with classes on relevant issues, making presentations that are open to the Richmond community, and conducting workshops for families. We often maintain long-term relationships with previous Visiting Innovators, as they continue to make strides advancing their missions to empower others to make the world a better place.

About the Visit

On March 25, Visiting Innovator Michael Tennant spent time with students in all divisions.

Mr. Tennant is founder and CEO of Curiosity Lab, a purpose-driven venture studio that builds products and experiences that teach empathy. Creator of the empathy card game “Actually Curious,” and author of “The Power of Empathy,” he dedicates his work to fostering deeper human connections through dialogue and understanding.

After School Make and Take!

Mr. Tennant also hosted a public after-school Make and Take event on March 25 in the Bryan Innovation Lab in which families (both Steward and non-Steward) engaged in hands-on activities centered around kindness, empathy, and design thinking, including an opportunity to play “Actually Curious.” Participants also enjoyed a sweet treat.
