Phase 3

Generate Solutions

We brainstorm about technological solutions on a human scale. In collaboration with everyone who cares about Ghent.

a) Generate solutions

Children are the most creative thinkers. During Young Inventors in Motion, primary school classes in Ghent come up with crazy ideas, which they craft into life-size inventions. During a Co-creation session, students together with experts brainstorm about new, out-of-the box solutions.

Teams of students from all kinds of disciplines continue to work on this during the Make-a-Ton. Under the watchful eye of experts, they delve into the world of design thinking, fast prototyping and pitching, to create testable prototypes of innovative solutions.

Wenselijkheidsdebat

During a Desirability Debate we examine the solutions: will they really work, are they user-friendly, can everyone use them? At the end of the ride we put all solution ideas in the spotlight in a Solutions Expo in De Krook.

b) Oplossingen selecteren

Rond verschillende oplossingen zetten we in de volgende fase Miniproeftuinen op. Een divers team van uitvinders gaat er aan de slag om een prototype verder vorm te geven, uit te testen en te implementeren.
