Reflection Time
Well done innovators! The challenge is completed. We hope you agree that you have learnt a lot! It all started as a bit of fun and here you are! Your first innovation prototype and your story of innovation is completed. What an achievement! It may not be perfect but you did it, you had a go and that’s what matters.
Watch our summary video to consolidate your learning about Design Thinking for Innovation.
Skill Flower
Your Entrepreneurship competence framework Skills Flower is now complete! In our Innovation challenge you developed 8 skills and hopefully you kept some notes about how your skills improved. It would be great to see if you can rank your skills according to how difficult you found them or perhaps how developed your skills are. What is your top skill? Which one still needs some further development? As a future entrepreneurs, innovator, business leader, you will continue learning so keep this flower as a reminder of your learning journey!
Innovation requires sensitivity for place, empathy for people, excellent observation skills and detailed insight gathering, creativity when it comes to ideas and no fear of failure through rigorous testing and iterating. You have tried all that!
What have been the main takeaways for you?
And finally, the campus innovations driven by students happen in real life and sometimes turn into global successful businesses.
Get inspired by one of our local entrepreneurs who started as a student with a Campus based innovation in 2003…
Thank you for taking part in your first Lancaster Innovation Challenge! See you soon…
