These workshops are open to students and professionals from ALL fields of study, not just engineers, because today’s most impactful solutions are built at the intersection of disciplines. Participants learn how to think strategically, collaborate effectively, manage complexity, and design solutions that align with real user and business needs-skills that apply to any career path. Whether you’re in business, healthcare, technology, design, research, or the social sciences, these workshops provide practical, industry-relevant tools that make you more confident, adaptable, and immediately valuable in the modern workforce.
Workshop 1: Intro to Design Thinking
This workshop introduces human-centered design and the structured design thinking process, including empathy, user interviews, defining the right problem, translating needs into requirements, ideation, and early prototyping. It teaches participants to validate assumptions before heavily investing in development. This is beneficial because organizations prioritize professionals who can think beyond technical execution and understand users, stakeholders, and real-world constraints. Individuals who apply structured, user-focused thinking reduce project risk and contribute to building products and solutions that succeed in the market.
Workshop 2: Design Thinking Bootcamp
This workshop expands the design thinking framework with advanced tools such as stakeholder mapping, systems thinking, constraint and risk analysis, affinity mapping, “How Might We” problem framing, and feasibility vs. impact decision-making. It also emphasizes structured prototyping and iteration. These tools help prepare participants to navigate ambiguity and complexity in real-world challenges. Individuals who understand how to analyze systems, manage trade-offs, and prioritize strategically, are better equipped for leadership roles, innovation-driven environments, and collaborative problem-solving across a wide range of fields.
Workshop 3: SCRUM
This workshop introduces Agile principles and the SCRUM framework, including roles, sprint cycles, backlog prioritization, sprint planning, retrospectives, and writing effective user stories. It helps participants understand how modern teams coordinate work, manage priorities, and continuously improve performance. This is beneficial because organizations value individuals who can contribute within structured, collaborative workflows rather than working in isolation. Learning SCRUM reduces friction in team settings and prepares participants to operate efficiently in fast-paced, goal-oriented environments across a variety of industries.
Workshop 4: Agile Project Management
This workshop expands on Agile by introducing structured tools such as roadmapping, Kanban boards, scope management, risk identification, progress tracking, forecasting, and stakeholder communication. These skills help participants balance execution with planning and adaptability. This is especially valuable for individuals who want to grow into leadership roles, product-focused roles, or dynamic startup environments. By understanding how projects are managed at a systems level, participants become more strategic contributors rather than solely individual task performers.
Workshop 5: Systems Architecture & MVP Development
This workshop covers system architecture fundamentals, including monolithic vs. modular structures, microservices concepts, API design, MVP scoping, integration risks, scalability planning, and documentation standards. It emphasizes how early design decisions affect performance, maintainability, and future growth. This knowledge is highly beneficial for individuals interested in building complex systems, launching new initiatives, working in startup environments, or pursuing leadership roles. Those who understand architecture and MVP thinking are more valuable because they can design solutions that align practical feasibility with organizational goals.
