With the goal of providing post-secondary design students an interdisciplinary and multicultural learning experience, WDO launched a three-week design sprint in collaboration with its Young Designers Circle. Under the banner of the theme Heritage in Motion: Defining the Future by Design, the pitch-style challenge focused on design research and strategy.
Working in teams with the support of faculty mentors and industry subject matter experts, participating students mapped a problem space, identified gaps in the existing solutions landscape and proposed opportunities for innovation. The sprint was run online from 30 September 2024 to 21 October 2024.
