Are you looking to spark your creative energy and explore new ways to develop ideas? Look no further, this program offers a unique opportunity to tap into your creative potential and unlock your imagination.

Over the course of 5 weeks, you’ll receive a weekly email prompting you to engage in a creative activity. These activities are designed to inspire and challenge you, helping you to break out of your comfort zone and expand your creative horizons.

The carefully curated activities are designed to be fun, inspiring, and accessible to all skill levels. Additionally, every Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET, all participants are invited to attend an hour-long virtual session to unpack and discuss the week’s activities.

The activities are designed for attendees to:

• Learn the importance of noticing and reflecting.
  • Train your attention to see things differently.
• Invest in the power of playfulness.
  • Create a sense of community.
• Hone your visual communication skills.
  • Find the essence of an idea and communicate it clearly.
• Challenge your own assumptions.
  • Learn how being intentional offers a greater experience.
• Stretch your senses to bring new ideas to life.
  • Realize that overcoming fear is liberating.

 

Who Will Benefit

This program was designed to provide a taste of the benefits of design thinking. After completing this sprint, you’ll be able to examine problems from multiple points of view and use creativity to guide you (and your team) to develop innovative solutions based around the user experience.

 

How It Works

For 5 weeks, you will get a daily email on Monday with a bite-sized video and directions for the activity. The activities range from options that could be completed in up to an hour, to others that will require that you set aside time each day (roughly 30 minutes).

On Fridays of each week, our Head of Practice, Academic Innovation, will host a one-hour Zoom meeting at 12:00 p.m. ET in order for the cohort to connect and unpack the experience. New cohorts start every 5 weeks.

Don’t miss the opportunity to integrate professional development into your daily routine and to strengthen your understanding of the benefits of design thinking in your work.
