Quickly explore ideas, sketch concepts, and share your solution.
Get feedback from peers and refine your pitch.
Connect with fellow designers, strategists, and changemakers.
✨ What we provide:
All the creative supplies you’ll need: pens, markers, and paper.
Light snacks and refreshments to keep your energy up.
🎒 What to bring:
Your curiosity, empathy, and passion for designing solutions that open doors!
Let’s reimagine how people discover hidden opportunities — and design a job market that works for everyone.
