The Digital Innovation Game is back at FIT

After a year, a unique workshop, aimed at familiarising students with the Design Thinking method and showing them how to turn an idea into a business through play and a playful simulation, returns to FIT. On Wednesday, 16 December, its participants will have a chance to verify that innovative thinking is a skill that can be acquired and developed. During the interactive workshop, they will learn about the individual phases of getting to know the user and their needs, get acquainted with the prototype preparation process, and last but not least, get some useful tips for their final presentation. The workshop, led by Design Thinking and digital competence coach Martina Bláhová, was a part of the Startup Booster programme at FIT. More information and sign-up options can be found on the website of JIC, which organizes the event in co-operation with BUT FIT and EIT Digital.
