Ka Maka ʻĪnana - Collaborative Design & Venture Ideation 16 Week Program

DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 25th (space limited)

Ka Maka ʻĪnana - Collaborative Design & Venture Ideation 16 Week Program

In an intense 16-week program, participants will learn design through a maoli worldview, connect with amazing people, ideate social enterprises, technologies, and sustainable consumer products that solve local problems, and positively impact your community and future generations.

How does it work? During the first six-weeks of Ka Maka ʻĪnana, we’ll hear from and work with cultural practitioners and indigenous innovators like Tiana Henderson, Lee Timutimu, Kamu Enos, and the team behind Mana Studios, trying to deeply understand what inspired these practitioners and how they ideated and implemented their transformative ideas. We’ll then collaboratively turn our lessons learned into a “Design Field Guide” that we will then use to find inspiration and ideate social enterprises, technologies, policies, community initiatives, and sustainable products that solve some of our most pressing local challenges. All solutions creators will have opportunities to work with the Purple Prize team and advisors, helping you to successfully create implementable solutions!
