A pass-out senior,the most practical and blunt girl,an over-enthusiastic fella, an inspirational soul and lot of awesomeness -things I came across with. Well, to put the event in words is gonna be quite difficult for me. It had been more than a week since I attended the event,but I still have a hang for it.
Social Design Jam was basically a design thinking hackathon focused on social impact,organized by Karmany and Teach for India Delhi Alumni. The event was hosted at IIIT Delhi and was held over a span of 48 hours for solving six major social challenges.It aimed to utilize the design thinking framework to create operational solutions for social enterprises solving pressing challenges in India.
The event included participants from varied backgrounds like engineers, corporates,social change drivers to entrepreneurs.It kicked off with an ice-breaker session where we all were introduced to each other. Along with that, we were also introduced to the organizations and their problems. This included 'I Say Organic','Azadi','Indus Action','Digital Green','Educational Initiatives' and 'Seekho'. And finally, we were split up into teams and co-ordinated with organizations.
The second day began with an inspirational thought of words by Shaheen Mistri (CEO,Teach for India) which marked a beginning of new day with rush of new ideas flowing in our heads.Followed by that, A Design Thinking Primer was presented by Bavidra Mohan from Acumen. Meeting with new people from such different backgrounds having varied perspectives about a situation was the best part of the event. I got an awesome team to work with. And the whole day ended up,by making us indulge in rigorous discussions, brainstorming sessions with business and design mentors for creating a rough draft of the solution,in the lush-green campus area of IIIT Delhi.
And finally the event ended up on the third day, when teams pulled off their final presentations on stage and kept their ideas. "I Say Organic" won the title.After that, Networking Gala session was there,which was like an icing on the cake.No matter, how less you show interest in this and immature enough to define the phrase,it was one of the few things that I learned and considered important enough.
Sometimes, winning is not important.We were happy to create a feasible design for an organization and what matters the most is that our idea is being considered and implemented for a real-life problem and being worked upon.An amazing experience in whole,which motivated enough to contribute back to the society.
