About this session
This is the espresso version of the day long Design Thinking hackathon we usually run. Hence before the session, the participants will be encouraged to do some homework on the challenges (TBC: e.g. transparency in the recycling sector / greenwashing on the internet/ fast fashion/ food packaging ) to maximise the time during the day.
On the day, the attendees will split into teams based on their challenge preference and will work with the below flow
- Systems Mapping - Understand how the industry works and the process? Find problems that can be addressed
- Future Mapping - If these problems were solved, what would the future look like?
- Insights Session - Cards with inspirational solutions will be shared to trigger innovation
- Idea Generation & Dev - Ideas will be generated individually and then selected as a team which will be developed further for the final pitch
- Idea Presentation - Present the ideas
Goals of this session
The goal will be to come up with Real Solutions/ Business models to the plastic pollution crisis that will help us transition to a more circular economy.
The teams will be encouraged to come up with something tangible be it a few lines of code or something physical.
