Phase 1: Design Thinking
Say something interestinStudents will learn the fundamental skills of human-centered design, the right mindsets to understand human needs, the ability to switch between divergent and convergent thinking during the creative process, and the power of iteration to frame problems and develop solutions.
They’ll also experience “building to think” – a fundamental principle that allows you to bring your ideas to life and refine them in real-time.g about your business here.
Phase 2: Social Thinking
Students will enhance their personal and academic growth while developing an international network of lifelong friends and fellow innovators for life. They’ll learn how to collaborate while building trust and safety in groups. This process involves creating a comfortable context for interaction, reducing awkwardness and fostering openness.
By making space for vulnerability and transparency, students will learn to encourage responsiveness, ensuring that everyone feels heard and valued.
Phase 3: Entrepreneurial Thinking
In an ever-shifting world, it’s crucial for students to learn how to create compelling, sustainable value in any field they choose. The key is to think like an entrepreneur. By understanding potential markets, developing a strong value proposition, and creating a path to financial sustainability, students will be well on their way to success.
This experience will also teach them the skills of sales and marketing, enabling them to effectively communicate the value of their ideas to others.
