All set for Benilde Prize 3.0 Ideation Bootcamp!

Finally, after more than a year of roadshows that brought our Design Thinking (DT) Workshops to close to 500 students and teachers in 9 regional centers in the country, we’re ready to roll out to the next level at the Benilde Prize Ideation Bootcamp on January 10–14, 2018. Ten shortlisted teams troop to Silang, Cavite at the Primac Management Center which sits on 4.5 hectares of fresh greenery for three days of idea generation.

The shortlisted teams composed of 37 students and mentors who went through intensive online mentoring the past 2 months will go through the Ideation Phase which will focus “on the process of idea generation. Mentally it represents a process of “going wide” in terms of concepts and outcomes. Ideation provides the fuel for building prototypes and driving innovative solutions.” (Stanford)

Teams who make it through the Ideation Bootcamp will be invited to the Social Business Bootcamp at the end of February, with the teams pitching on Finals Night on March 2. The winning startup will get 500,000 pesos in seed funding, mentorship and incubation from Benilde HiFi and cool prizes from Primer Group and Power Mac Center.

Benilde Prize is made possible with Primer Group, Power Mac Center, ASSIST Asia and the Peter D. Garrucho Jr. Innovation Institute.
