Digital Shoots: Innovation 101

What is it?

Innovation 101 is a free one-day workshop designed to help women explore, develop and grow ideas relating to health, social care and wellbeing that could make a difference. Whether your idea is linked to your work, your community, your caring responsibilities, or a challenge you've experienced personally, this session will help you understand how innovation can turn ideas into reality.

We're particularly keen to welcome women from underrepresented groups, including migrant women, women from ethnic minority communities, carers and anyone with an interest in creating positive change. This is a supportive, friendly environment where no previous experience of innovation, business or entrepreneurship is required.

Supporting you to take part

We know that taking part in something new requires both time and commitment, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get involved, so we will provide the following:

• Travel expenses

• Lunch and refreshments throughout the day

• Access to computers and free WiFi at the college

On completion of Innovation 101, you will be invited to continue to our three Bootcamp workshops in November and December where you'll receive additional support to develop, test and strengthen your ideas.

On completion of the three Bootcamps, you will also receive:

• A £20 shopping voucher as a thank you for your time, effort and commitment. The voucher can be used at a range of supermarkets, high street retailers and online stores.

• A certificate of completion recognising your participation in the programme.

Together, we'll help you build confidence, develop practical innovation skills and take the next step towards turning your ideas into action.
