Impact Blueprint is a high-impact experiential learning program for high school students, bringing real-world innovation into the classroom. Each workshop equips students with the mindset, tools, and confidence to solve real business challenges from local organisations. Working in teams, students move from uncertainty to structured insight — not by memorising answers, but by thinking like problem-solvers.
The Core Experience: the cohort, usually between 24 to 48 students, is grouped into teams of 6–8.
Each team works on a real innovation challenge provided by a local business or community organisation. They navigate the challenge using our Impact Blueprint methodology. The final deliverable is a persuasive presentation explaining their solution.
This is not a simulation — it’s real thinking, applied under pressure, with support and structure that mimics professional environments.
What Makes It Work?
Live Challenges from business owners give students a sense of real-world stakes.
A step-by-step Playbook keeps teams focused, productive, and accountable.
Students interact with an AI Tutor, an expert in innovation and design thinking, to analyse interviews and spark deeper thinking.
Teachers remain in control, but don’t have to lecture — the workshop is built for student-led discovery.
The Prework Plan: To get the most from the experience, students complete a short Prework Activity using AI to reflect on what matters to them.
Students choose 3 values from a guided list of 10 categories (like Curiosity, Belonging, or Growth). They write a short reflection and use AI to mirror back what their choices reveal, which helps them understand their strengths and how they can be applied in the workshop.
The prework is a launchpad for long-term AI fluency, and can even form the start of their Custom Context CV (C³).
What About the AI Tutor?
Each team uses a shared AI Tutor with deep knowledge of innovation, design thinking, and collaborative problem-solving. It’s faster, clearer, and more aligned to the workshop’s real-world goals.
