Product-School is a programme aimed at Product Engineering, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The whole programme has been conceptualized with an aim to encourage the spirit of building innovative solutions. Product-School framework covers the entire life cycle of product development from Ideation to Design Thinking to Prototype development. Interaction and validation by domain experts and Industry mentors is an integral feature of the programme.
The top teams will be selected for Incubation by the Innovator Square Incubator and supported all the way to build products and get support for funding.
In the first week, the participants are taken through Ideation and Design thinking workshop for a detailed understanding of how to conceptualize product ideas, survey with target user group to validate their ideas.
The whole group can be divided into two multiple emerging technology tracks like Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain and Cybersecurity depending on the number of participants. The participants will be given hands technology workshop on the chosen technologies. The participants shall be supported to build their prototypes under the supervision and mentoring of Industry mentors.
The final prototypes are then showcased to a very distinguished jury comprising industry mentors and academicians.
Typically, the 'Product School' program consists of 120 hours of in-depth theory and hands-on practice. This foundational phase is followed by an additional 120 hours dedicated to product development. In this stage, participants work on transforming an industry-provided problem statement into a viable product. The process involves rigorous solution development, where the idea is not only conceptualized but also brought to a level of tangible product readiness. The final product is then validated through direct engagement with industry experts, ensuring that the solution aligns with real-world market demands and standards.
