CIID Pop-Up Schools in Partnership with FLAME University
The design challenges that matter most today rarely arrive at a single scale. They surface in the moment an AI agent acts on someone's behalf, in the complexity of a service that must work across an entire ecosystem, in the cultural conditions of an organisation that keeps producing the same outcomes, and in the long horizon of consequences we are only beginning to learn to see.
Four of these courses meet those challenges directly, designed for practitioners and students working at the intersection of design, strategy, and systems. The fifth takes a different angle — one aimed at the next generation of designers, returning to something foundational: the act of making things that are physical, surprising, and genuinely alive to the touch.
What connects all five is a belief that the best way to understand something is to try to change it. At CIID, we learn by doing — and doing means committing to the cycle at the heart of everything we make: build, test, repeat. Across every course, at every scale, that is how insight becomes practice, and practice becomes impact.

An exploration on meaningful AI beyond the paradigm of optimisation.
This course is a design studio exploring AI as a material to build agentic tools for everyday life—focusing on how these systems can expand human agency rather than erode it.
Physical Making, Interactivity, and the Future of Play.
This course bridges the gap between code and the physical world by mastering the art of rapid prototyping with Arduino, enabling participants to transform abstract ideas into tangible, sensorial, and playful experiences.
How designers create influence and change inside organisations
This course explores the personal and organisational skills needed to build cultures of innovation that are adaptable, resilient, and capable of driving meaningful change.
A strategic approach to design innovative products & services within complex human & business systems in the era of AI.
This course explores what it means to design at the scale of ecosystems, blending systems thinking, service design and strategic business insights into a single integrated process.
Transforming raw information into AI-driven prototypes.
This course explores how raw data can be transformed into interactive, AI-powered experiences through rapid prototyping, storytelling, and hands-on experimentation.
