What is the SIP?

A volunteer program to build solutions for sustainability issues (Economic, Social and Environmental). We empower both communities and participants through an online or a blended design sprint (online and in-person), using Design Thinking for Sustainability. We collect data to address a specific challenge faced by the community, brainstorm ideas, and co-design a prototype of the final solution.

Our process involves 3 key components: volunteers, the agile and design mindset, and a cause we are passionate about. Learn more about our process here!
