Yorkshire Lab starts today

The Yorkshire Innovation Lab kicks off today at Swinton Park in Masham, North Yorkshire. The week will be structured around developing each project team's idea and preparing a final pitch for Friday. Although the week will have a flexbile structure, we will focus on different elements of idea development each day:

Monday - introductions, expectations and initial feedback on projects
Tuesday - the audience - building user scenarios for each project
Wednesday - the idea - refining the project and focusing the pitch
Thursday - the pitch - building the prototypes and rehearsing the final pitch
Friday - The final pitch

Jem Stone and Jason Daponte - the commissioners from the BBC internet team - will be arriving on Wednesday to give feedback on the emerging prototypes, then will hear the final pitches on Friday. The other mentors and support team members will be here all week to work with the teams and help them develop their ideas.
