FAST 48 VIII BOOTCAMP IN DESIGN THINKING FOR SOCIAL IMPACT

$60
11.10.2017 | 6:00 pm - 11.12.2017 | 6:00 pm

The FAST 48 is an immersive boot camp to cultivate mindsets and practical skills in human-centered design (HCD). It’s designed for graduate students and professionals— you might be scientists, educators, artists, business owners, university staff, or faculty. Over a fast-paced 48 hours from Friday 6 PM to Sunday 6 PM, learn the mindsets and practical methods of human-centered design for social impact. This is basically a 3-day mini-course (not-for credit), not a conference! Coaches guide teams through the design cycle. The lead instructors are Máille Faughnan, Laura Murphy, and Jordan Stewart with a team of coaches from the Taylor team and our growing local design-thinking community.

We are excited to partner again with PlayBuild New Orleans, “on a mission to transform under-utilized urban spaces into exciting kid-friendly environments for play and learning”.
