IMPACT LAB IN HANGZHOU
AN INDEPENDENT INITIATIVE
SUPPORTED BY ASHOKA AND BOSCH STIFTUNG
31 MAY 2019 - 2 JUNE 2019

Impact Lab is an original workshop that I co-created with Jasmine Lau, Founder of Philanthropy in Motion and Ernie Chen, Founder of Code For Asia. The curriculum and activities were designed to engage the youths through the following segments:

  1. Quick fire brainstorming session around issues like food waste, sustainability, urban-rural education gap, equality and so on.

  2. Lean Start-up Methodology for efficient solution testing, launch and iteration

  3. Hands-on prototyping with Wordpress to create a landing page to support testing

  4. Impact marketing and community-building for growth and engagement

The full-day session received highly positive reviews and requests for more engagements to invigorate the local ecosystem. Impact Lab also acted as a catalyst for participants to kick-start or further push their respective social innovation and business ideas.
