Field Trip at Accenture (Seattle, WA – High School)

For this Field Trip, Accenture is partnering with Starbucks!

Tour the Accenture Seattle Innovation Hub and learn how innovation and emerging technologies are changing the way companies and people interact! Students will hear from a panel of women leaders about the exciting ways they bring new ideas and technology to life at Accenture.

Accenture is a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud, and security. Combining unmatched experience and specialized skills across more than 40 industries in over 120 countries, Accenture offers Strategy and Consulting, Technology and Operations Services, and Accenture Song — all powered by the world’s largest network of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Operations centers! Accenture embraces the power of change to create value and shared success for clients, people, shareholders, partners, and communities.

Students will work together to explore a real-world challenge using Design Thinking, a creative way to solve problems by combining people’s needs, new ideas, and what’s possible with today’s technology. They’ll start by looking at how mornings could be better for high school students and turn that into a “How might we…?” question—like, How might we make mornings less stressful and more fun for girls at our school?
