Innovation Certificate + Mentorship

This intensive program starts with a fun, fast-paced, “learn by doing” experience that gives students concrete tools and strategies to be more creative in solving complex problems. Students experience design thinking by working on a series of challenges that help them develop a specific mindset or strategy that is essential to the practice of design. From there students move into subsequent weeks of a guided design studio experience, where they demonstrate that they possess the character and skill set to be an innovative and positive contributor to their community. This program runs in a studio format where an experienced design teacher guides students to complete a design thinking project addressing an important issue that students see in the world around them. Simultaneously, students get a few sessions of 1 on 1 mentorship from industry or design professionals.  These mentorship sessions are meant to support students in creating a stellar prototype.

This program is 48 hours and meets 2 times per week between 6 and 12 weeks depending on the time of year it’s offered.
