Designing Student Experience

Moving from ideas to action for rapid feedback

You’re here because you’ve seen a model that inspires you or have a challenge you're driven to solve for young people—but you’re unsure where to begin.

This phase is all about taking that spark of inspiration and shaping it into something tangible. It’s like standing at the edge of a puzzle, where the pieces represent possibilities. By defining the challenge and setting boundaries, you begin to fit the pieces together, figuring out what’s possible and how you can craft the best experience for students.
