Take one financial problem from idea to evidence-backed prototype.

A studio, not a lecture. Students work in mixed teams on a real problem, with real users, and leave with a pilot and a portfolio.

Seven steps from problem to launch.

Step 1 of 7Use ← → keys
01

Understand

Pick a real financial problem and learn who it affects and why it persists.

Context→Stakeholders→Problem statement
02

Discover

Go to the field. Talk to users, collect data and find the real pain point.

Interviews→Surveys→Insights
03

Design

Sketch solutions, pick the strongest idea and design the user journey.

Ideas→Journey map→Wireframes
04

Build

Turn the design into a working prototype: an app, a tool, a process or a campaign.

Prototype→MVP→Demo
05

Test

Put it in front of real users and measure what works and what doesn't.

User tests→Metrics→Fixes
06

Validate

Run a small pilot and collect evidence that the intervention makes a difference.

Pilot→Feedback→Data→Iteration
07

Launch

Pitch it, publish it, or hand it to a partner who can take it further.

Pitch→Partners→Scale
The studio

Real problems, not textbook projects.

Rather than giving every learner the same theoretical project, each team works on a real problem, for a real user, with a real pilot at the end.
