Global Week 2024

@ Stanford University

"Dark Horse" Prototyping

Early in the Winter quater, student teams from Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland came together to work on "dark horse" prototypes. These long-shot solution concepts help break teams out of their conventional thinking and prompt them to explore more daring, innovative possibilities.

Global Week begins with an orientation that prepares teams for intense collaboration.

Faculty and coaches work with teams as they develop "dark horse" ideas.

Teams build prototypes and collect data that helps drive their creative explorations.

Final presentations highlight results in terms of lessons learned and solution insights.

Public Presentations / Critiques

During Global Week, student teams get a chance to know one another in-person and absorb the "culture" of technical design innovation at Stanford zUniversity. Public presentations and open-door small group meetings provide many opportunities for students to learn from each others' work as well as to get valuable feedback on their progress from experienced professionals.

Faculty Leadership

Faculty from Stanford and global partner institutions interact with student teams throughout their experience to help them get the most from their time in Silicon Valley.
