Our Challenge

In this challenge, you will collaborate with pupils from the Elfenwiese School in Hamburg, which specializes in supporting children with special needs. Through empathy-driven observation and dialogue, you will identify real-life challenges these students face in their daily routines. Your mission is to co-create innovative solutions that improve everyday life for the pupils. From practical tools and supportive devices to playful spaces and creative ideas that foster inclusion, comfort, or interaction. Working in interdisciplinary teams, you will be supported by experienced Teamchers from various fields (see Providers section). The collaboration is designed to be hybrid from the ground up: while some team members may engage directly on site in Hamburg, others will participate remotely. Contributing through research, design, coordination, or digital prototyping. The process encourages hands-on learning, inclusive design thinking, and creative problem-solving with the shared goal of making a meaningful difference in the school community.
