Design For America Workshop

03.03.2016 | 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Students, help Tulane start a chapter of Design For America (DFA)!

Design for America is a network of student-led studios creating social impact in our communities through interdisciplinary design. At Tulane we are familiar with volunteering our time through service learning. However, the DFA studio at Tulane aims to take this initiative further with a human-centered, creative approach to problem solving. This means that each semester, we will be working with a community partner to identify and address a daring problem in the community.

As part of our DFA application, Tulane will host a Design Thinking workshop. This workshop will help us address our challenge this semester: How might we increase access to afterschool programs in the New Orleans area?To help us learn about this problem we have secured an amazing community partner. PlayBuild NOLA’s founder, Angela Kyle, will be present at the workshop! No prior design or creative experience is required. Students from all majors are encouraged to join! Open to all graduate and undergraduate students.
