Design Swarms: Registration Open

Design Swarms: Registration Open

This is a past event.

Event Time: 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 25

Event Description: Following the basic structure of 'ARTS 1125: innovation through design thinking', the design swarms workshop at the Arts Fest will introduce the mindset, process and methods at the core of “design thinking”. Design thinking is a design methodology that provides a human-centered disruptive approach to solving problems. Participants will work on an interesting hands-on project in teams to internalize this learning. The Arts Fest Design Swarms will provide a snapshot of the possibilities available through courses like ARTS 1125.

Workshop Leader: Surya Vanka, Founder & Principal, Authentic Design
Vanka is a designer, educator and author—at the leading edge of physical and digital experiences for more than 25 years. He served as director of user experience at Microsoft, a tenured professor of design at the University of Illinois and a fellow at the prestigious Center for Advanced Study. Vanka has authored design books and other publications; lectured in more than 20 countries; and earned several industry awards. He is the author of two books on design, several publications, and has taught design on every continent but Antarctica. 

Breakfast and Lunch will be provided.
