Who is this for?

If you are interested in learning about design for social impact and/or applying to the Austin Center for Design – regardless of your professional background – this workshop is for you. All levels of design ability are welcome, even people who have never done this before. The only prerequisite is passion and a willingness to try. There are limited participant seats, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

What will I learn?

During this workshop, you'll learn an overview of the process designers use to solve problems:

• You'll learn how to conduct research with people who are in the middle of a wicked problem

• You'll learn how to translate that research into meaningful insights

• You’ll learn how to harness those insights into concepts and bring an idea to life through sketching

Above all, you’ll learn how to build empathy with real people and gain the basics to further explore design for impact.

Note: $ 25 admission includes lunch and refreshments during the bootcamp.
