Education and learning
RSA Spark
Built on the solid foundations of 100 years of the Student Design Awards, RSA Spark has been designed to achieve even greater impact.
In this fourth workshop, you’ll grow your capabilities, creativity, change and communication.
Key takeaways from this workshop
- You’ll consider how you can bring your ideas to life and start testing them in the real world.
- You’ll learn how to adapt and change your idea based on the feedback you receive.
- You’ll also understand the potential impact of your ideas on people, places, and the planet.
We encourage you to participate in or watch the workshops (available on playback and are 20-40 minutes) and/or do the downloadable activities provided to help you develop your idea for RSA Spark (see resources pack below).
You can also earn a digital badge by attending or watching a workshop.
Claim your RSA Spark digital badge
As a reminder, everybody who attends or watches a workshop on playback and completes the two surveys will get a unique Explorer digital badge for each workshop. You will need to complete both surveys with your name so that we are able to issue the badges.
- You can get an Explorer badge for each workshop you participate in.
- At the start of the workshop, you will be invited to fill in the baseline survey. Please complete this when prompted.
- At the end of the workshop, we will also ask you to fill in the end-of-workshop survey. We will only be issuing badges to participants who complete both surveys.
These surveys are designed to support you in identifying your capabilities and how they grow. The surveys are also an important way to give RSA Spark feedback and help us learn and improve.
