We are building a program that gives students a chance to experience the entrepreneurship environment through design thinking and also an opportunity to get close with startups/SE/Co-working spaces. We joined a Social Innovation Program in VIA, which is a non-profit organisation under Stanford d. School where we learned about the design thinking process: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test.
We also had hands-on experience with concept prototyping and application which we strongly believe is important for the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This is why we want to bring design thinking here. We all share the same vision of promoting and applying the concept of design thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration in a sustainable way. We are creating a platform that incubates students’ diverse capabilities in the entrepreneurial ecosystem through:
- Interdisciplinary methodologies
- Human-computer interaction
- Human-centered mindset
- Can-Do spirit
- Maker-Spirit
We are doing this through a collaborative approach where we engage with different stakeholders:
- Startups
- Co-working spaces
- Social enterprises
- Professionals
- Professors
- Future leaders in entrepreneurial fields (students)
We see the added value of creating space. It’s a diverse culture we want to create and an I-Care spirit we want to foster. We see the added value of we > me. It’s an open culture we want to create and an I-Can mindset we want to foster.
