    UTS: Hatchery is a practical, hands-on program aimed at empowering entrepreneurship amongst UTS students, surrounded by a vibrant community of likeminded students and industry. The program is extra-curricular and runs parallel to student studies throughout their Autumn and Spring sessions.

    Participants undertake three intensive boot camps that cover the fundamental methodologies of Design Thinking and Lean Startup, amongst other tools. These processes go beyond just theory, as they’re applied throughout the semester to practical project work.

    Through a mix of boot camps, agile stand ups, workshops and master classes, students are exposed to a variety of invaluable teachings which they can apply to their projects or take with them along their entrepreneurial journey.

    The program runs every Autumn and Spring session for approximately eight weeks, with three intensive boot camps and all core learning completed during the Orientation and Preparation Week. Students must commit to weekly (three hour) stand up sessions with coaches, mentors and their teams.
