Rapid prototyping workshop utilising design thinking methods to solve local problems. Using tools developed by MediaLab the two day workshop will work collaboratively in developing solutions to social / environmental problems.

We are seeking committed professionals that can make an impact around the Sustainable Development Goals #11, 12 and 14. Cities, Resources and Oceans. As Melbourne is situated around Port Phillip Bay, it is intended to focus on the City, the Bay and resources.

The #GlobalGoalsJam 2017 is a two and a half day event consisting of short design sprints. Creative teams of designers, developers and Jammers from the local community work together using a tailored toolkit. Together, we will create interventions aimed at short term targets in support of the long term goals.
