We don’t believe in normal or boring. We believe learning happens best when you’re surrounded by interesting people and applying the learning in a meaningful way.
Over your 2-day Design Jam journey, you’ll apply the design concepts and tools we explore to a real-life business problem for local organisations doing good in the world.
At the end of Design Jam, you’ll get to pitch back your ideas, prototypes and validation – and your idea might even get picked up for implementation!
Your Design Jam ticket includes two fast-paced and interactive days of design learning, access to a huge set of resources and canvasses you can use in your own work as an innovator, and healthy morning tea ☕️ lunch🍴 and afternoon tea 🍰 to keep you going throughout the program!
The Design Jam runs over two days, from 9am to 4pm. Across the program, we’ll cover the entire design process, exploring tactics, tools and techniques that you can bring back into your organisation.
