The CCAD MindMarketThis is where you get a clear advantage.

The CCAD MindMarket is the only laboratory of it’s kind in the United States. Here, you’ll have a chance to work through real world design challenges alongside faculty and outside experts in the field. It might take a weekend. It might take a semester. It will surely take everything you have. And it will be worth it. You’ll work with clients like P & G, blank and blank. You’ll even have a chance to incubate your own startup business with close guidance and support—and yes, you can take it with you when you graduate.

I still think this is so confusing. I don’t know what the difference is between the two areas – maybe we don’t mention them as two things but just describe it as the MindMarket. I took a stab at simplifying it but I com-pletely deleted the Thought Lab – having conversations with partners didn’t mean anything to me.
