Event Details

Calling all NZ design thinkers, tinkers, do'ers, makers, creators & collaborators!

Join us for 48 hours of experimentation, co-operation and friendly competition at the the Hamilton Service Jam 24-26th February 2012  

 

What is it:

On 24 February, 2012, people who are interested in service and using a design-based approach to problem solving and creativity will meet all over the globe. Teams will have 48 hours to develop brand new services inspired by a shared theme. On Sunday at 3pm, they publish them to the world.

It's called the Global Service Jam and it's a world-wide challenge to design a new service in just 48hrs. You can read all about it here: www.globalservicejam.org/  & follow on Twitter via @GSJam & #GSJ12

 

What happens at this thing?

Basically a bunch of people come together, we get given some broad themes to work with, and then we work together to create a new service concept and share it with the world. What's a service? Think things like Meals on Wheels, staying at a hotel, mobile blood donor clinics, having surgery. 

 

Why would I want to participate?

Whether you are experienced or completely new to the field, you will learn more about service design.

 - You will pick up a load of new ideas and work practices.

- You will meet a lot of cool people at all levels of experience.

- Your work and ideas will be reviewed by your peers, and presented to the world, where they can be seen by potential customers or employers.

- You will design something that may become a real business.

- You might get rich and famous.

- You will certainly have a blast.

 

But I don't know the first thing about service design...

Doesn't matter. If you're interested in services and have an open and inquiring mind then you'll be a valuable participant.
