A design jam is a collaborative event that combines elements of hackathons and design sprints. It's structured as a focused period (multiple days) where teams work to transform conceptual ideas into tangible outcomes. Unlike traditional hackathons that focus on technical prototypes, design jams emphasize research, user experience, and conceptual development while still maintaining the collaborative, time-boxed nature of hackathons.
A design space refers to the conceptual and creative boundaries within which participants can explore solutions and ideas. It defines the scope, constraints, and goals for the design session. Essentially, it’s the playground or canvas where participants can freely ideate, prototype, and iterate on their ideas while addressing a specific challenge or problem. In a design jam, having a well-defined design space can help teams stay aligned and focused, fostering productive collaboration while also encouraging creativity within clear boundaries.
The goal is to provide a space for diverse perspectives to explore challenges in a structured way, with emphasis on design thinking and research rather than purely technical solutions. It aims to be more inclusive than traditional hackathons while producing specific, actionable outputs that can serve as starting points for further development.
The venue has capacity for approximately 250 participants.
