Innovation & Rapid Prototyping — Shark Tank Meets Maker Lab
A design challenge where mixed teams are handed a real-world brief — local, relevant, and slightly uncomfortable — and must ideate, build, and pitch a solution in a compressed time window. Think Shark Tank meets maker lab: unconventional materials, AI-assisted brainstorming tools, and a panel of surprise investors to pitch to at the end. Rooted in the 2026 push toward immersive, hands-on learning over passive presentations. The Western Cape setting adds genuine edge — briefs can be drawn from local challenges like water security, tourism innovation, or township enterprise development. We travel to any venue across South Africa.
Teams break out of habitual thinking and discover new approaches to old problems.
Mixed teams surface diverse perspectives that homogeneous groups miss.
Pitching to a panel sharpens how teams articulate ideas under pressure.
Teams learn to move from idea to solution fast — a critical organisational capability.
Teams receive a real-world challenge brief — local, relevant, and designed to provoke fresh thinking.
Using unconventional materials and AI-assisted tools, teams design and prototype their solution.
Each team presents to a panel of surprise investors — high stakes, high energy, high fun.
A facilitated reflection unpacks the innovation lessons and applies them to your real workplace.
