How do we gamify the construction industry?
On today’s show we have someone who has interesting and incredible ideas for the future of the construction – Alex Walzer.
Alex is currently a Doctoral Researcher for Entrepreneurship for Digital Fabrication and Robotics in Construction
In this episode, we discuss:
- Future innovations in the construction industry
- How gamification can make construction more fun and engaging
- Open innovation as a way to help you find new and better ways to build things
- Failure – an important part of learning and innovation
