About

THE DESIGN REDEFINED SERIES


These events aim to challenge conventional understandings of design as a process of enhancing aesthetics, usability, or marketability and instead encourage a deeper understanding of design as a powerful tool for change.

Do you love art, STEM, and/or design? Are you interested in social justice? Innovators for Purpose (iFp), a BIPOC-led non-profit youth design and innovation studio, is partnering with the MIT Museum and the MIT Morningside Academy for Design to develop a quarterly discussion series called Design Redefined.

The event is free with admission to the MIT Museum. High School students can register for a limited number of free tickets to the MIT Museum: HERE.

Designing Sensation: Performance, Play, and Participation

Shifting the focus from the design of material goods and physical artifacts, we will explore the design of human experience, and discuss how whether for games, performances, or other engagements, design plays a critical role in how we perceive, interact, and feel.

The event will feature a panel discussion, followed by a fun, hands-on workshop. This workshop will provide a space to design, sketch, and create ideas and spaces. Food will be served in the second half of the program.

This is an opportunity to meet like-minded peers, professionals, and MIT students and faculty.

Our events are enriched by your presence and we are committed to making them accessible.
