How the workshop runs

Find, design, test and decide, pitch

Each team moves through four phases across the twelve sessions, working on a problem it chooses and cares about.

1

Find

Research a real problem worth solving, and who it affects.

2

Design

Shape a solution and build a costed prototype.

3

Test and decide

Gather test evidence, then make and explain a decision.

4

Pitch and launch

Present your pitch and leave with a plan for the next step.

What learners produce

Real work to show at the end

Every team finishes with a set of tangible pieces it can share with family, mentors and partners.

Designed for different learners

Everyone has a way to contribute

The workshop is built on four educational design principles so that different kinds of thinkers can lead.

These are educational design principles. They are not clinical treatment, and no specific results are guaranteed.

Strengths-based roles
Team roles start from what each learner does well.
Multiple ways to participate
Speaking, building, writing, researching and organizing all count.
Quiet leadership
Leading does not have to mean being the loudest voice in the room.
Predictable sessions
A steady rhythm so learners know what to expect each week.

Workshop details

Who it is for and how to join

Programme information is kept separate from scheduled sessions, so the same workshop can run at several hubs.

Who it is for

Younger teens, older teens and adults, in separate cohorts. Ages are specific to this workshop. Roles start from each person's strengths, and speaking, building, writing, researching and organizing all count.

Membership

Membership may be bundled with this workshop. What it includes is not confirmed yet, so nothing is promised here.

Local sessions

No confirmed sessions yet. Each hub lists dates, price, places and facilitator only once they are confirmed. Until then, register interest or join a waitlist.

This is educational programming, not clinical treatment, and no specific outcomes are guaranteed. See how joining will work.

For partners

Bring a real problem

Local organizations, employers and community groups can take part by offering a real problem for teams to work on, an approved contact for interviews, or a decision-maker to hear the final pitches. Sponsorship, scholarships or space are opportunities we would be glad to discuss; none are secured today.
