Designing with Life: Catalyzing Innovation
Nov 7, 2024
About
Design Redefined is a series of events seeking to challenge our perception of design as a process of enhancing aesthetics, usability, or marketability and moving towards a deeper understanding of it as a powerful tool for change.
Appropriate for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as design professionals, each session will feature a panel discussion featuring thought leaders, followed by a hands-on exploration of key design principles, light refreshments, and networking. Co-hosted by the MIT Museum, MAD and Innovators for Purpose.
Free with Museum admission. Seating is limited.
