From July 4th to 11th, 2024, Martin Luther Christian University (MLCU), Shillong, in collaboration with PRIME Meghalaya, hosted IMPACT Week India—a dynamic program dedicated to teaching Design Thinking. The week-long event brought together a diverse group of international, national, and local coaches from fields such as academia, IT, engineering, and government, who guided participants through the principles and applications of Design Thinking.
Student participants from colleges across Meghalaya engaged in hands-on learning sessions, where they worked closely with coaches to address real-world challenges specific to the state. This experiential approach encouraged students to apply Design Thinking methodologies to devise innovative, sustainable solutions to pressing local issues, with an emphasis on translating these ideas into viable business concepts.
The program provided students with valuable insights into entrepreneurship, equipping them with the skills and mindset to tackle complex challenges creatively and develop impactful solutions with potential for real-world impact.
