Challenge 01 · 6 weeks · ~4 hours per week

Lift up something you love about your local community.

Six weeks. One artifact you would actually ship. Each stage is a week of focused work; each week produces a small, real artifact; the cohort meets weekly with the founder. We treat students as capable of graduate-level thinking, scaled in vocabulary but not in ambition.

The shape of the work

Every week, every student produces evidence: an interview note, a point-of-view statement, an ideation portfolio, a prototype, a test report, a reflection. There is no busywork. Every artifact is real, and most of them — with the student's consent — eventually live in the public Showcase.

Four words, one curriculum

The work moves through four orientations: Workmanship, Relational, Missional, and Redemptive. Each stage carries one of them. Students are not asked to carry the weight of the world. They are asked to carry a real piece of work, well, for six weeks.

    Making space for many ideas — including the ones that arrive without permission.

  4. Week 04
    Missional

    Prototype

    Making a thing real enough that real people can react to it.

    Read stage
  5. Week 05
    Relational

    Test & Iterate

    Watching real people use the thing you made — and loving them more than the idea.

    Read stage

    Redemptive + Missional

    Launch & Reflect

    Sending the work into the world — and asking what it has done.

Inspired by the synthesis at sorendeorlow.vercel.app and the journal at longitudinal.ai. Built on the conviction that students are God's workmanship before they are makers.
