ideaDESIGN is a fast-paced, three-session innovation program focused on testing your idea before investing time and resources into building your product. The program runs every three months in cohort format. Applications are now open for the next intake. Open to Dal students and the Halifax community at large!
Through interactive workshops and guided exercises, participants validate ideas, identify key assumptions and identify key product features. Upon completion of the program, participants can apply for up to six months of access to ideaHUB’s coworking space, labs, and 3D printers to move from idea exploration to early prototyping.
