​One day, one workflow, one working tool.

​Morning: you map how a real piece of your work actually moves, and find the step that eats the most time for the least value.
Afternoon: you build something that fixes it, guided the whole way. At the end, every team demos what they made.

​No technical background is needed at any point. Most people in the room will never have written code.

​Curiosity is the only prerequisite.

​WHO SHOULD COME

​Program coordinators, frontline staff, program leads, office administrators — the people carrying the heavy workloads.

​You'll work in a small team; come with colleagues if you can, and we'll place you if you come alone.

​WHAT IT COSTS

​Nothing, just bring your laptop.

​The day is free and lunch is provided. Facilitation, tools and accounts are provided too: there's nothing to buy and nothing to install beforehand.

​GROUND RULES, AND WE MEAN THEM

​No client or family data comes anywhere near this day. Not in an example, not in a prompt, not in a prototype.

​We'll say it again on the morning, and a facilitator will stop you kindly if it drifts.

​Everything a team builds stays in that team's hands.

​THE PRIZE

​A small judging committee picks a winning team at the end of the day.

​The winning team's tool is deployed free of charge and supported by MA EdTech Solutions for a full year, within a defined support package shared with every participating organization before the day.
