Zero to Action: Ideation and Rapid Prototyping

Everybody wants to make a difference, and anyone is capable of developing a project to make the world better, but it’s hard to know where to start. This session will lead you through the process of how to do it. We’ll start with an examination of what you want to change, lead you through our high energy “brainsprouting” session to come up with hundreds of creative ideas, and give you tools to turn those ideas into a concrete plan. We’ll share the simple secret that most people overlook when starting an idea, and a sure-fire method for ironing out the details as fast as possible. Then, you’ll get super clear on your idea as you practice sharing it with others. You’ll also have the chance to get (and give) some preliminary feedback. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear project idea complete with an action plan to keep you moving forward.
