DIVE MASTER: Advancing Real-World Impact through Design·AI

Overview

From ideation to action, the DIVE MASTER course is a comprehensive yet rigorous approach to the Design and Artificial Intelligence (DAI) framework, equipping participants with the skills to design, test, and validate project solutions using a suite of AI platforms as a Tool or Teammate to increase team performance throughout the design process.

 

Through human–AI collaboration, participants will engage in a structured process to:

  • Identify and understand design opportunities and user needs in close collaboration with key stakeholders.
  • Interpret and reframe user needs into actionable insights, activities, and abstract representations that foster innovation through DAI.
  • Ideate and conceptualise solutions grounded in genuine user needs and opportunities.
  • Develop and refine ideas through hands-on prototyping and model-making, testing concepts with relevant stakeholders for validation and feedback.
  • Leverage the power of AI as a tool or teammate in various design activities

 

During this hands-on course, participants will work collaboratively in teams to conduct iterative, user-centred design, leveraging AI to enhance creativity, analytical capability, and execution speed through a facilitated design sprint led by professional Design Innovators.

 

Designed for working professionals, the course emphasises collaboration and practical problem-solving around real-world challenges faced by companies, organisations, industries, communities, and nations—delivering implementable and actionable outcomes that bridge innovation with tangible application.
