The Ladder Universal Design Sprint programme crowdsources solutions to global issues.
The workshops are free. Training companion courses are available for a fee.

The Ladder develops actionable solutions to the biggest issues facing humanity such as Covid-19.   (note: we are not looking at the virus itself but the impact, see examples below)


The Ladder is a non-profit collective of design thinkers, makers, do-ers from all walks of life. See us at www.theladder.io
 
We partner with non-profits, social enterprises, communities and Ladder Labs to work on one problem and test the best solution so the partner gets a roadmap of exactly what to do to make their idea a reality. It works!

Universal Design Sprint workshops are held globally.
