School Field Trip to Life By Design – Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators
Introduction
At Life By Design (Startup Bodyshop), we believe that education goes far beyond the classroom.
As part of our commitment to nurturing creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial thinking in young people, we regularly welcome school field trips that give students a firsthand look at how ideas become impactful ventures.
Recently, a group of enthusiastic students visited our space as part of their educational activity to learn more about design thinking, innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship in action.
Learning by Doing
The visit began with a warm welcome from our team, followed by a guided tour of our workspace — the Startup Bodyshop, where new ideas are designed, tested, and brought to life.
Students were introduced to the concept of “Designing a Life by Design” — the philosophy that we can intentionally shape our futures through creativity, problem-solving, and purpose-driven work.
They explored:
-
How startups are built from ideas to implementation
-
The role of innovation in solving real-world challenges
-
The importance of sustainability and social impact in modern business
-
How technology and design thinking merge to create meaningful solutions
Interactive Workshops
The field trip included hands-on learning experiences where students were grouped to work on small creative challenges. Guided by our mentors, they practiced:
-
Brainstorming innovative ideas
-
Using design thinking to solve simple community problems
-
Presenting their mini-projects to peers
These interactive moments encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and confidence — essential skills for the innovators of tomorrow.
Behind the Scenes at Startup Bodyshop
Students also got to see how entrepreneurs and startups collaborate within our ecosystem.
They visited workspaces where ideas are turned into prototypes and learned about how mentorship, technology, and collaboration help startups grow.
Our facilitators shared inspiring stories of young innovators who turned their passions into successful ventures, demonstrating that age is never a barrier to impact.
Key Takeaways for Students
By the end of the day, students left with:
-
A deeper understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship
-
Inspiration to think creatively about their own futures
-
Awareness of the importance of sustainable development
-
Motivation to become problem-solvers in their communities
One student shared, “I learned that even small ideas can make a big difference if we work on them with purpose.”
