Through Design Challenge and focused Design Workshops, the design stage involves discovering unmet needs of urban stakeholders and conceiving possible solutions and necessary resources to implement them.
We host hackathons and mappathons to prototype, test, and visualize the novel ideas for civic urban start-ups while receiving valuable feedback from a broad spectrum of community stakeholders.
We curate promising urban civic start-up projects to further advance business models, refine of software systems, and crowd-fund them.
We engage in the development of citizen entrepreneurship to reduce the “digital creativity gap” in next generation urban leaders through year-round immersive education and mentoring programs.
