In this episode of Langes BOG’s – Bunch of Geeks, host Mr. Lange sits down with Trevion and Nick from Western Michigan University’s Cybersecurity team during Innovation Day 2025, and the conversation is full of energy, insight, and major inspiration.

They explore the incredible innovations students are bringing to the table , from building computers and coding games to pitching real ideas with real impact. Nick reflects on how nothing like Innovation Day existed when he was in high school, and how powerful it is to see students already thinking like developers, engineers, and creators.

The episode also dives into Nick’s trip to Silicon Valley, where startup culture thrives on failure as fuel, a concept that’s celebrated, not hidden. Trevion and Nick highlight how embracing failure is key to real innovation, and how that mindset is something today’s students are already tapping into.
