What it looks like

Agency, taste and craft, practiced on one real product.

01 · Agency

Students choose the problem

Day one opens with an open brief. Each team picks a problem worth a week of work; mentors support the choice, not make it.

02 · Taste

The work is seen every day

Teams demo daily and practitioners sit with them while they build, so feedback from real people shapes which version survives.

03 · Craft

A fixed finish line

The build freezes at a set hour. Teams launch what works, with a brand and a price, then pitch it live.

How the week runs

From open brief to demo day.

  1. Day 1
    Choose a problem

    Three-minute pitches with no slides, then teams form around the problems they care about most.

  2. Day 2
    Talk to users, start building

    Short lessons just before they are needed, then long build blocks with mentors in the room.

  3. Day 3
    Live at a public link

    A working prototype anyone can open, tested by peers and practitioners at the daily demo.

  4. Day 4
    Brand, price, freeze

    Teams add a brand and a price. At a fixed hour, the build stops.

  5. Day 5
    Demo day

    Every team pitches live to a panel, with parents in the room and a prize on the line.
