From Books to Build:A Design Immersion Program for students

Step into the world of real design

Design education often focuses on developing drawing skills, visual thinking, and problem-solving ability. However, students preparing for competitive entrance examinations and even after getting into a design certificate course often have limited exposure to how design operates in real-world contexts such as startups, product development environments, and innovation ecosystems. This half-day immersion program bridges this gap by introducing students to the journey of ideas moving from concept to prototype and ultimately towards market-ready solutions. Hosted at the Venture Center Library, the program positions learning as an interdisciplinary process connecting design, technology, science, and entrepreneurship.

This hands-on immersion takes you beyond textbooks and into the real world of design, startups, and innovation.
