Join our FREE meet-up every Tuesday 6:45 to 9 pm for 6 weeks (you need to sign up for all 6 weeks with the form above. Once you sign-up you will be notified of your sprint start-date.

The sprint will solve a real problem in the community, with a social enterprise or chosen by the team.

//HOW IT WORKS
Participation is FREE.
To get the most out of the experience, we provide a blended training course. Solve a real problem while learning through our (optional and paid) online course. This is, by far, the best way to learn; do and learn at the same time. The course includes 1:1s, video lessons, assignments and expert tips on running your own sprint.
See https://theladder.thinkific.com/

The online course is optional and for those who want a deeper learning experience, or new to the subject matter or would like certification.

//WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
You'll learn the skills and methods necessary to plan and execute your own Design Sprint - and be eligible for certification- while directly helping non-profits, charities and social enterprises solve critical problems.

We'll guide you along the way (with the online companion course) to ensure you can run your own design sprint with tips on how you can incorporate these techniques in unique ways within your team and organization.

This group runs through a full design sprint on building a real product for a non-profit, charity or social enterprise over 6 weeks (each night represents about 1 day of a design sprint).

The outcome is that you will be a Design Sprint Practitioner - while doing some real work helping a needy charity or an early-stage start-up.

//WHAT YOU GET

• Solve a real problem with Design Sprint - have real-world experience
• The knowledge that you have helped a non-profit, community directly or indirectly
• Certified Design Sprint Practitioner (when the additional paid online course is taken also)
