Design Expedition!
On Monday, April 28th from 5:00-7:00pm, we will be hosting for our end-of-semester Design Expedition! This is an explorative & reflective event open to all students, faculty, staff, and professionals.
Join us for a series of 8 mini-works on tools & frameworks that we see as incredibly valuable in exploring the question: How can we design impactful solutions that benefit people, systems, and the planet? Sneak peak: our friends at StartingBlock Madison, Inc. will be leading a co-creation & brainstorming workshop addressing the Wisconsin housing crisis.
We will also be showcasing our semester-long UX design & HCI projects for local startups, CuroNow, Spectacle Health, and IQ Decide. If you're considering applying to join our cohort teams this fall, this is a great chance to get a glimpse of what you'll gain and hear firsthand from current members about their experiences :)
Come celebrate the creativity, innovation, and collaboration happening on UW’s campus — Refreshments Included!
