The Innovation Lab is about hands-on play, collaboration, creating and doing. Embrace the freedom of swift ideation and rapid design; then translate this approach to larger, more focused project execution.
We begin with short, daily challenges in Week 1. Moving on to medium, multi-day exercises in Week 2. And finally, a 2 week challenge spanning Weeks 3-4. Each week will include a “Pin & Present” session to display and discuss the week’s work.

Week 1
Week 1 will be a week of inspiration and play, immersion and rapid response; thinking fast and collaborating freely. Daily design challenges encourage swift ideation as well as cross-pollination between participants. This week will stretch imaginations and encourage dialogue. Step outside your comfort zone, break away from your usual modes of working and thinking.

Week 2
Working in small groups of 4 or more, teams will undertake two short projects during the course of the week. This week is a warm-up to the larger-scale project to be undertaken in Weeks 3 & 4.

Weeks 3 & 4
In Weeks 3 & 4 you will create more fully realized projects that reflect fuller creative and conceptual development and an emphasis on execution. This may include staging and testing this work in a public space or creating a working prototype. The goal is to translate the techniques and skills of the first half of the program into a more focused project with a tangible outcome.
