Kyued Up - Ideation + Prototyping

You have an opportunity to support an exclusive initiative sponsored by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University to design business ideas for Okinawa.

Kyued Up is an interactive workshop that uses Design Thinking, a methodology developed at Stanford University. Design Thinking is a creative methodology to problem solving that focuses on user needs. Kyued Up aims to foster innovation and to promote the sustained development of Okinawa, two of OIST’s foundational goals. Over two months, the workshop will bring together local and international scientists, designers, and entrepreneurs to prototype solutions, start-ups and technologies to impact Okinawa.

Here are some ways that you can get involved:

• Become a Local Expert

If you live in Okinawa, you can apply for an exclusive “behind the scenes” view. If selected, you will offer your expertise in person by attending parts of the workshop at OIST. We hope you will benefit from experiencing Design Thinking and then share this knowledge with your colleagues and other organizations in Okinawa. Not only is this an incredible opportunity to impact the Okinawan community but it is also a fantastic way to acquire new skills!

Be sure to join us in designing the future of Okinawa!

For this first time in Okinawa, Kyued Up is available only in English, but you do not have to be fluent to share your knowledge!
