Let's prototype!

Guidelines for a prototyping session.

After some experimenting, let the group choose one type of prototype that they then work out more thoroughly.

If possible, provide support from colleagues, creative people from your network, from the neighborhood, to support the young people in developing their prototype of choice.

An alternative session plan is available for those who are interested in an online option.

Aim of Session

To arrive at a first prototype, or a test of a service, based on a viable business idea.

Learning Outcomes
