About this Event
Around the world each year, Design Thinking and Service Design enthusiasts unite on a weekend in March for the Global Service Jam.

Designers, business people, community members, students and many more gather with one goal in mind: to research, create, and build a prototype in less than 48 hours.

Who this is for: Everyone!

If you're inexperienced with design, or have a non-design background, this event is perfect for you to get your feet wet with design. We will have a safe space to try out new methods, do research, and build prototypes.

If you are an intermediate designer or design advocate, this is your chance to build upon your experience to develop your skills. Maybe you can lead an exercise for your team, create the research plan, or use your skills to build prototypes for user feedback.

If you are an experienced designer, you will get to develop leadership and facilitation skills essential for career growth. Help your team progress through the design process and be an advocate for design thinking. Share your knowledge and have fun networking with your community. If you are interested, you can reach out and apply to be a coach as well.

All participants will walk away with new tools for your design toolkit, share experiences and meals with new connections, and build collaborative prototypes with teams of fellow designers and jammers.

Here's how it works:

After revealing the mysterious secret theme on Friday night, we’ll break into teams and start working to identify a real-world problem. On Saturday, guided by our expert coaches, we will do real world design research to uncover latent needs, generate hundreds of ideas, and build low fidelity prototypes. On Sunday, we will take those concepts, and then deliver a presentation/prototype by Sunday afternoon to our panel of judges for supportive, constructive feedback. See detailed agenda below.

This event will give you real-world practice at all phases of Design Thinking, and you will receive presentations from experts throughout the process.
