Explore & question
Research a place or experience. Map the people, technologies and environments involved, and listen to different perspectives before defining the question.
03 / HOW WE LEARN
Our mentors help young people and teams develop their own ideas, practise new skills and explain the decisions behind their work.
Hackathon energy, with teaching built in. Bring a question; leave with something you can show.
Research a place or experience. Map the people, technologies and environments involved, and listen to different perspectives before defining the question.
Imagine alternative futures, then choose how to explore them: through code, AI, hardware, physical prototypes or spatial storytelling.
Test how the prototype works and how people experience it. Compare feedback with your assumptions, consider effects on the wider system and refine the work.

Tap to turn back ↶OUR LEARNING PHILOSOPHY
Three connected strengths, not a sequence of steps.
Find a direction, listen to others and take responsibility for the choices you make together.
Understand people’s needs. Map the system, make a prototype and improve it through feedback.
Explore what AI can help you create, check its suggestions and decide when human judgement matters.
AI LITERACY THROUGHOUT
Explore how AI works through approachable examples, including what it can and cannot do.
Compare outputs with evidence, recognise bias and explain your own decisions.
Discuss privacy, ownership and the people affected by what you create.
