ExCITe Center

Our mission is to inspire transdisciplinary research, discovery, and learning connecting technology and communities. 

We employ a novel multidisciplinary approach bringing together design, technology, and entrepreneurship in pursuit of this mission, enabling new opportunities for discovery, disruption, and innovation.

The core principles of ExCITe are:

• Collaboration is essential for innovation.

• A diversity of perspectives provides a relentless source of creativity.

• Everyone is creative. Everyone is an innovator.

• Aspiring to the highest standards lays the foundation for the greatest work.

The Center brings into proximity Drexel faculty, staff, students, neighborhood partners and resources across Philadelphia to catalyze change. We believe that a network of engaged “do-ers” across civic, education, research, arts, and industry pursuits can bring about the future of our city that we collaboratively create.
