Design Jam
Spark Ideas, Shape Solutions
A Design Jam provides a unique opportunity to turn ideas into action. It is a high-energy, collaborative event where passionate students—innovative thinkers, future leaders, problem-solvers, and creatives—come together to tackle real-world challenges.
In partnership with not-for-profit organisations, government and industry experts, you will have the opportunity to apply your creativity and problem-solving skills to projects that make a real difference. You will work together on challenges that affect local communities, social causes, and the environment—with the potential to develop solutions that make a real social impact!
