Innovator Beta Bootcamp Workshop

Beta test workshop!

This Beta Innovation Workshop is being held to road test a new approach to innovation. It will combine the solution finding approach of Design Thinking with rapid prototyping of a live tech solution for a real business innovation.

ThinkFlow is a low-code-no-code solution for building rapid prototypes of web and data applications and logic. It is like the next step onwards from a desktop application.

This workshop is suitable for any of the following:

Professional engineers: you may be surprised at how fast you can go from idea to interface

Occasional developers: you are have perhaps built applications before, but only on your laptop. Perhaps you have built a website but not a web application. This workshop may be your route onwards

People who have never coded but are involved in technology: you have a great idea, but can't bring it to life yourself. This bootcamp needs you. Product managers, marketers, business people, data scientists, PhD students, we are very determined to change the way we access technology and our committed to broadening the diversity of people who can build technology solutions.

For those of you who want to explore ahead of time, this workshop will make use of an open source application originally designed by IBM called Node Red which you can download and explore on your local machine using the links below. But don't worry if you can't get started, we will help you in the workshop. ThinkFlow "Node Red on the Web" is the first application on our ThinkFlow platform, and what we will be using in the latter half of the session.

You can also find out more about the Design Thinking process by clicking the links below.

Don't worry if you don't get a chance to try it, we will cover the ground in the workshop :-)
