Overview
This unit is informed by design thinking, requiring students to test, prototype and refine a viable response to a real-world challenge or opportunity. Working in diverse start-up teams, students will use innovative approaches to problem solving, by learning how to develop and deliver an end-to-end solution. The unit is experiential and hands-on with learning guided through mentorship and industry engagement. ‘Start-up fastrack 1’ focuses on the desirability and feasibility elements of innovation. Students will undertake both primary and secondary research to identify and frame a deeper understanding of the problem. Through iterative cycles of ideation, students will develop the capability to rapid prototype and to conduct real life user-testing to evaluate their concepts and ideas. The business modelling element of the unit is designed to lay the groundwork for ‘Start-up fastrack 2’ by arming students with the necessary capabilities to build their value proposition through rigorous validation and feasibility assessment.
