The scope of technology has expanded towards areas such as sports and vitality, offering significant challenges for engineering designers. However, only little is known about the underlying design and engineering processes used within these fields. Therefore, this paper aims to get an indepth understanding of these type of processes. During a three-day design competition (Hackathon), three groups of engineers were challenged to develop experience-able prototypes in the field of sports and vitality. Their process was monitored based on the Reflective Transformative Design process (RTD-process) framework, describing the various activities part of the design process. Groups had to keep track of their activities, and six group reflection-sessions were held. Results show that all groups used an open and explorative approach, they frequently swapped between activities, making them able to reflect on their actions. While spending more time on envisioning and creating a clear vision seem to relate to the quality of the design concept.

In navolging van de ‘Kracht van Sport’ lezingencyclus in het voorjaar van 2013 is besloten om ook de vijf lezingen van 2015 vast te leggen in een boekje. Dit omdat tijdens deze lezingencyclus, die inging op de verbindende kracht van sport, er veel prachtige beleidsverhalen en -inzichten werden verzorgd die het meer dan waard zijn om met (meerdere) geïnteresseerden te delen. In de reeks is geprobeerd om op regionaal/grootstedelijk niveau een vinger te krijgen achter de kracht van sport. Daarbij is in de vijf grote steden ingezoomd op 'Sport als driver voor grootstedelijke vernieuwing' (Rotterdam), 'Sport en innovatie' (Eindhoven), 'Sport in de (Schilders)wijk' (Den Haag), 'Sport en integriteit' (Utrecht) en 'De waarde van persoonlijke bevlogenheid en out of the box denken' (Amsterdam).
