Engaging, project-based learning
We provide active learning with real interaction:
Live Workshops in Butter & Miro…not just text and videos.
Live Interactions with the Class…not just on Slack.
Live Project Feedback from a lead-level coach…not a “🔥👍”
Real-World Course Projects inspired by your job…not hypothetical prompts.
WARNING: Once you take a workshop-based course from the Fountain Institute, passive courses from NNG, IDEO U, and Interaction Design Foundation just won’t cut it.
“The UX of the course is on point. It feels authentic, self-aware, and created solely with students in mind…The course seems to distill vast swathes of literature into atomic nuggets for designers-after-work to consume in bitesize portions.”
Pete Armitage
Senior UX Writer at Proxify
Timeboxed Live Learning™
Ok, we didn’t actually trademark that term, but we did design our live classes as workshop-based course specifically for designers with full-time jobs. We know you’re busy. Even the assignments are mostly done in class.
Just show up. We’ll take care of the rest.
So far, 98% of our students have completed the course. You can do it, too.
Live Learning Online
Workshops hosted in Butter and Miro
Discussion, collaboration, and feedback in every class
Social learning in Slack & the Learning Dashboard even beyond the live classes
“I took the UX Strategy course from The Fountain Institute in a time period where I had to tackle my first strategic project at work. The things I've learned during the course could immediately be applied in my actual work, which made it easier for me to grasp the theory and also made my job much easier.
What I particularly was impressed by was the facilitation skills from both Hannah and Jeff. They managed to keep the live classes engaging and fun - even after a long day at work. I liked how practical this course was and that the theory was provided on a separate learning platform, so I could just read that whenever I had time and wanted to learn more. The templates we used were provided in Miro, which was also great because that way I could use them for work as well.”

Plan your next career move
If you purchase a premium seat, you get three coaching calls that you can book throughout the next year. Most students use these calls to work on their portfolios or come up with strategies for their next career move, but you get to decide.
“Being the co-founder of an ed-tech startup focusing on learning transfer, I don't say this lightly: Hannah and Jeff's course is one of the most well-designed learning experiences I've ever come across.”
