Bridging the gap between theory and practice is perhaps the most important problem to solve in design education. A lot of design knowledge is tacit - it's not easily captured in books or presentations. The best way to learn and develop intuition is by working on real-world problems in context, while being supported by feedback and mentorship. This is why industry projects are a main feature of our Product Design Fellowship at ownpath, and it's no wonder Fellows love this aspect about the program. So, what happens at an industry project? Fellows get to 👉🏼 develop domain knowledge, learn about what worked and what didn't 👉🏼 learn to work in quick iterations and tight feedback loops with a design team 👉🏼 understand real constraints & tradeoffs: wildly different from theoretical case-studies Looking forward to collaborating with Last9 Inc, where Fellows at ownpath will gain first-rate exposure to challenges and constraints that a team helping serve millions of users faces on a day-to-day. 🚀 Big thanks to Sahil Khan (and previously Nav Pawera and Saloni Bhandari from Jiva and Sanket Pathak from Postman) for collaborating with us on industry projects. 🙌 #designeducation
New industry project alert! 💥 We’re stoked to be partnering with Last9 Inc on this. Bridging the gap between theory and industry practice is a core focus of our Fellowship, and we're very grateful to Sahil Khan and the Last9 team for working with us on this project. Applications to our Product Design Fellowship are open ❇️ Learn more & apply here: https://lnkd.in/dW8CSTCM

This summer, I had the privilege of participating in the transformative 4-week journey called Summer Lab at The University of Auckland, and I can't help but share the incredible experience I had. 🚀 What is Summer Lab? For those unfamiliar, Summer Lab isn't just another program; it's an accelerator for change-makers. Over the course of four weeks, participants dive headfirst into a world of innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), we embarked on a journey to identify pressing issues, form teams, and develop tangible solutions through a blend of workshops, mentorship, and hands-on learning. 💡 What Did I Learn? Benefits Beyond Measure The learning curve during Summer Lab was steep, yet immensely rewarding. From ideation to prototype creation, from customer interaction to pitching to investors, every aspect was meticulously crafted to equip us with essential entrepreneurial skills. Workshops on financial basics, negotiation, and intellectual property provided invaluable insights that I'll carry forward into my future endeavors. The benefits of Summer Lab extend far beyond the skills acquired. I had the opportunity to network with industry experts and like-minded peers. 🎉 A Community of Changemakers What truly sets Summer Lab apart is its vibrant community of changemakers. Collaborating with diverse individuals from various backgrounds and disciplines was not only enriching but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Together, we were driven by the common goal of translating ideas into impactful solutions. ✨ Gratitude and Looking Ahead As I reflect on my Summer Lab journey, I'm filled with gratitude for the invaluable experiences, friendships forged, and skills honed. I'm excited to carry forward the lessons learned and continue striving to make a positive impact in the world. Special Thanks to the mentor of our team Sorin Mihăilescu, EMBA, Facilitator Deb Shepherd My Teammates #GreenJavelin Naufal Shidqi, Vincelia Wong, Dulani Jayasuriya, @June, Winnie Tandri Alia, Xiaoyu Cyaki Zhai Great minds behind this learning experience Darsel Keane, Judith Marecek, Nova Jackson, Sandy Lin, @Maru Maxwell 🙏 #GeenJs #SummerLab #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Sustainability #Impact #TeamGreenJavelin #ClimateAction

Yet another way our Compass Digital and Technology teams are investing in the community and in young people’s lives. Yes, they have a day job. But they care too much to let that be their only job. 💙 #compassdigital #compasstechnology #digitalfutureinitiative
A key pillar of our Digital Future Initiative (DFI) is helping to provide access to technology, education, and growth opportunities to those who need it the most.

These sessions are designed to provide hands-on experience in various fields of business, with a focus on project-based learning, team collaboration, and practical skill development. Associates from across Compass Digital and Compass Technology shared their expertise with the students. Finally, students delivered capstone project presentations to a panel of judges. The rapid growth we witnessed was inspiring, and we are excited to see how these students continue to grow. Special thanks to the students, volunteers, panelists, Digital Page, and everyone who had a hand in this program. 💫
