WORKSHOP 1 PROTOTYPING TRAINING
Maker's Lab
A hands-on making sprint where your team builds real prototypes using Gnist's 3D printers and laser cutter. No prior experience needed.
Maker's Lab is an engaging and practical learning experience, designed to teach everyone the basics of prototyping — whether you want to 3D print or laser cut something cool.
*Workdays can be arranged on the days you wish to have the container at your premises.
A simple "how to" hands-on tutorial with our facilitator, where you learn to prepare a model for printing with our 3D printers, and how to use the laser cutter to make wooden objects.
Basic prototyping skills your team can keep using · All the prototypes you make during the session · Confidence to build things and explore a new area of expertise · A creative shared experience for your team
WORKSHOP 2 PRODUCT TESTING
Testing Zone
Experiment. Prototype. Test your ideas. A lab for teams who want to test prototypes and ideas — before building further.
In this workshop your team prototypes your own product mockups and tests them against real user needs, constraints and other requirements. Feedback is turned into concrete improvement steps.
*Workdays can be arranged on the days you wish to have the container at your premises.
Prototype quick mockups of your product and play structured test games to evaluate them against user fit, production feasibility and installation requirements. Everyone tests, everyone gives feedback.
Physical mockups you tested on the spot · Clear improvement priorities the team agrees on · Concrete next steps for product development · A team aligned on what matters most
You can choose to add Workshop 1 Prototyping Training if your team needs to freshen up their skills or start from scratch. This can add 1–5 hours of workshop time, depending on the number of participants in the training session.
WORKSHOP 3 IDEA EXPLORATION
Ideation Sprint
A hands-on innovation sprint that guides ideation through playful exercises and out-of-the-box thinking — inspired by real cases.
Through structured creative games and hands-on making, your team moves from blank page to bold concept and produces concrete ideas worth pursuing. Combined with a prototyping session, your team can create something you can actually hold in your hands.
Play a series of creative ideation games that push your team past the obvious answers and help you converge on ideas and opportunities worth pursuing.
New product or service ideas generated together · Physical prototypes of your best concepts, made by Gnist · A clear direction for what to explore next · A team that's genuinely excited about what's coming
You can add Workshop 2 Product Testing if your team wants to test their ideas after the ideation workshop. This can add 3 hours–1 day of extra workshop time, depending on the number of participants and the complexity of the mockups.
*Choosing this Add-on will also incur additional costs for container rental and transport.

WORKSHOP 4 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
The Root Cause
A game-based session to cut through assumptions and identify the real problems your product, service or users actually experience — so your team invests in solutions that actually work.
Through structured activities and fictional scenarios your team uncovers hidden friction points, challenges what you think you know, and leaves the session with a clearly defined problem space you're ready to act on.
Play problem mapping games and work with real frameworks that challenge your team's assumptions and reveal what's truly blocking progress. See things from your customers' and partners' perspective and find the right way forward for everyone.
A clearly defined and agreed problem space · The real friction points your customers and end users experience · Confidence that you're solving the right problem · A team aligned on where the focus should be
You can add Workshop 3 Idea Exploration to explore solutions to the newly discovered problems. This adds 2 hours–1 day of extra workshop time, depending on the scope of the ideation process and the number of participants.
WORKSHOP 5 TEAM DYNAMICS
Playful Co-working
Serious games that help your team understand different perspectives, work styles and communication patterns. Strengthens collaboration and trains co-working practices.
From task distribution to manager-employee dynamics, your team plays through realistic work scenarios in a safe, fictional setting — which makes it easier to have the honest conversations that don't normally happen.
Play collaborative games designed to uncover different work styles, communication preferences and team dynamics — using fictional scenarios so everyone can participate openly without it feeling personal.
A shared understanding of how your team works best together · Clearer task distribution and communication norms · Better manager-employee dynamics · A team that genuinely enjoys working together
Add Workshop 1 Prototyping Training for a fun multi-day event that engages your team and strengthens the culture.
*Choosing this Add-on will also incur additional costs for container rental and transport.
