Back to the studio( Beyond the studio / Special formats )
Hands-on sprints for companies and education, from a focused brief to tested prototypes.
Building a prototype exposes questions that a discussion can leave unanswered. We combine technology, spatial design and facilitation to help teams investigate a business problem or put learning into practice.
We use hackathons to explore different responses to a challenge, and buildathons to develop a more defined idea. The brief, participants and learning goals determine the format.
( From question to next step )
We agree the problem, who it affects and what teams can realistically investigate. The brief sets out constraints, available tools and criteria for reviewing the work.
Challenge brief · Success criteria · Team & tool setup
Teams need places to build, discuss, test and pause. We plan the layout, shared tools and schedule so focused work has enough time and space.
Participant experience · Spatial layout · Sprint agenda
We guide working sessions and bring in design, technical or subject specialists as needed. Check-ins and user feedback help teams resolve questions while they build.
Facilitation · Specialist mentoring · Prototype testing
We review each prototype against the brief, document what remains untested and identify what it needs next. The handover names owners, dependencies and steps for a pilot or further study.
Prototype review · Evidence & open questions · Roadmap handover
02 / Collaboration
Feedback from others.
A clearer decision.
( Companies & education )
01 / B2B & technology
Bring product teams, customers, partners or internal specialists together around a real opportunity. Explore AI use cases, rethink a service or test a product direction before committing to a larger investment.
02 / Education
For universities, schools and learning programmes, we connect learning objectives to practical briefs. Students work across disciplines, question how technology is used and get support suited to their experience.
( Beyond the demo )
Your handover includes the prototypes, feedback, test findings and open questions. It gives teams a record they can use to plan the next phase.
We agree the format, duration, mentoring mix and handover together. Prototype development is part of the sprint; production delivery is a separate next step, scoped around what the teams discover.
