See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject was formerly titled "Developing your Creative and Entrepreneurial Potential" Do you have a sustainability idea you'd love to bring to life through a community initiative, business, social enterprise or similar? Would you like to develop it using design thinking tools in a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment? In this subject, you will integrate understandings of sustainability with Bruce Mau’s ‘design thinking’ principles, to empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test your ideas to plan a successful sustainability initiative. This subject cultivates collaborative, hands-on learning through weekly live seminars and interactive discussion boards. Each week, students apply design thinking tools and concepts to their own ideas, building a structured yet flexible framework that supports creativity and progress. To deepen insight and spark innovation, students explore real-world projects—including inspiring examples from past cohorts. By grounding learning in practical application, peer interaction, and lived experience, the subject offers a dynamic environment for shared exploration and reflective growth. Students will emerge from the subject with a project idea ready to launch and a business model canvas and project pitch ready for investors or a grant application.
