Run with schools; contact us to bring it to yours.
Agency, taste and craft, practiced on one real product.
Students choose the problem
Day one opens with an open brief. Each team picks a problem worth a week of work; mentors support the choice, not make it.
The work is seen every day
Teams demo daily and practitioners sit with them while they build, so feedback from real people shapes which version survives.
A fixed finish line
The build freezes at a set hour. Teams launch what works, with a brand and a price, then pitch it live.
From open brief to demo day.
-
Day 1
Choose a problem
Three-minute pitches with no slides, then teams form around the problems they care about most.
-
Day 2
Talk to users, start building
Short lessons just before they are needed, then long build blocks with mentors in the room.
-
Day 3
Live at a public link
A working prototype anyone can open, tested by peers and practitioners at the daily demo.
-
Day 4
Brand, price, freeze
Teams add a brand and a price. At a fixed hour, the build stops.
-
Day 5
Demo day
Every team pitches live to a panel, with parents in the room and a prize on the line.
