This class will blend practices of both applied design and social entrepreneurship using human centered design processes. We will research, conceive, design and build testable prototypes and/or systems that have the potential to create economic, social and/or environmental value. We will collaborate with local community partners, observing and listening carefully to what they want and need.Our intention is to set a tone of innovation and creativity, combining techniques of design thinking with an entrepreneurial mindset and the fabrication resources of the Center for Design. This class is not open to first year students.

Lab Fee: $60
