Big ideas. Tight timelines. Real-world experience. đź’ˇ
NCC welcomed 98 high school students from nine high schools across Northwest Iowa to campus Tuesday morning as part of the Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) program.
During their Design Sprint pitches, students presented concepts for redesigned Siouxland or War Eagle Conference logos to a panel of 10 business and marketing professionals. The challenge gave students hands-on experience in creative problem-solving, collaboration, professional presentations and receiving constructive feedback.
It was exciting to see these students step outside their comfort zones, take action and bridge the gap between the classroom and the professional world!
