Mentoring a team in a Design Jam is an excellent way to sharpen your facilitation and leadership skills.

Design Jams (sometimes Service Jams) are fantastic one-or-two-day design events, during which people team up to tackle engaging User Experience (UX) challenges. They are similar to developer ‘hackathons’ and they aim to get people together to learn and collaborate with each other, across disciplines, while working on real problems. The jams emphasise open-source thinking/sharing and are non-profit, usually run by local volunteers and venues.
