The BBC Innovation Labs are a series of creative workshops for interdisciplinary teams of professional creative technologists, application designers, software developers and interactive media designers. Three Labs pilots are being held: one in the North West of England, one in London and one in Yorkshire & Humber.

The Yorkshire lab took place 6-10 March 2006 at Swinton Park, Masham, North Yorkshire. Ten teams [link to participants – teams] from the region were selected to participate in the week-long rapid prototyping lab with BBC commissioners and interactive experts.

At the end of the week, the teams pitched their projects to Jem Stone and Jason DaPonte from the BBC internet commissioning team with a view to securing commissions for further development. The labs teams will also be invited for another day workshop with representatives from VCs and angel investors, to explore other development and financing routes for their projects.
