With 26 University members, from 19 countries in 4 continents, we are the biggest design thinking global network bringing together the world’s future makers, universities and companies for a new learning experience. During one academic year students from various universities get acquainted with design thinking tools in a setting of practice-based learning. For this, the global students team prototype, test and iterate in order to develop and implement innovative solutions to real world design challenges posed by multinational corporate sponsors. We encourage the sharing of knowledge and education, hosting global events to provide these students and corporate sponsors the ideal atmosphere for this exchange to happen.
