Lumi's Quest programme: a structured design-thinking led journey designed by a Stanford University professor

Students develop tech-enabled solutions to real-world problems whilst building and developing critical skills for the future

Live, online facilitated sessions by design-thinking-trained students and near-peers from top universities across the world (Harvard, Minerva, UCL, University of Cambridge etc.)

Digital-first, scalable programme with the potential to run Quests with multiple, different schools and with young people globally

Students can win formal certification from Stanford-affiliated design-thinking institution Singapore BioDesign

" Today it's become really difficult to differentiate between the thousands of graduates who apply to us. They all have great degrees from great universities - but they're missing real-world skills that immediately set them apart from one another. We need something to help us pick them out, and this is it. "
