Transformation in an individual can be what transforms a community, a country, and even the world.
The I-Manifest Design to Innovate program was created in response to the real need in regional areas to focus on work creation, as opposed to job readiness. Student participants are selected from those who have had prior involvement in either our Inspired Education or STUDIO programs, and are challenged to solve an existing local community issue using innovation and entrepreneurship as central creative thinking skills.
Guided by industry mentors, Design to Innovate students build on their capabilities and achieve tangible outcomes from the collaborative process.
There is incredible value in teaching young people about innovation and design. Young people need an alternative to the traditional paths. The value of learning about design and innovation arises from the internal changes that unfold when creativity is tapped into in a genuinely meaningful way.
