Design Sprint in Education

Accelerate practical learning with Design Sprint in education

A transformative educational tool for colleges and universities

Design Sprint in education offers an immersive and practical method for students in Bachelor’s and Master’s level programs at higher education institutions, allowing them to work on real-world problems from startups or large companies. This approach, concentrated over a five-day period, engages students in concrete challenges while promoting action-based learning.

Why choose Design Sprint for education?

Learning based on real cases

Our workshops enable students to dive into current business problems, providing them with invaluable experience that transcends traditional theoretical education. Each group of 6-7 participants works as a team on a tangible project, in healthy “competition” with other groups, which not only creates positive emulation but also enriches their understanding and prepares them for future professional challenges.

Development of interdisciplinary skills

The Design Sprint format encourages collaboration among students from various disciplines, allowing the development of skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and leadership. This holistic approach is essential for training professionals capable of navigating complex and rapidly evolving work environments.

Stimulated innovation and creativity

In a structured environment, students are guided by our highly experienced team to generate innovative ideas and transform them into testable prototypes. This rapid concept validation method allows students to see the results of their ideas and receive direct feedback from real users, thus strengthening their confidence in their creative and innovative capabilities.

Design Sprint workshops for education

These large-format sessions are specifically designed for schools and universities wishing to integrate practical approaches into their curricula. In just five days, we offer workshops where students work in groups of 6-7 on real-world problems provided by startups or large companies. These workshops facilitate a total immersion in the professional world while promoting innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Development of educational prototypes

We guide students in developing prototypes, allowing them to put their ideas into practice and receive immediate feedback. This crucial step enhances their practical understanding and prepares them to face market challenges after their studies.

User testing adapted to the educational context

Students test their prototypes with real users or target customers, often from the same application domain as the project. These feedback sessions are essential for learning how to refine products to meet the actual needs of end-users, thus offering a valuable experience in the concept validation process.
