New Workshop for

Social Challenges 
Designing Innovative Solutions for Social Challenges 
Innovators and entrepreneurs around the world are tackling some of the most complex and challenging social problems of our time. This experiential workshop will guide students in developing solutions for social change while exposing them to the tools, tactics and frameworks used to empathize with the populations they seek to serve. 
No prior experience with design thinking is necessary to attend.
We encourage participation from teams and individuals that have identified a problem they would like to solve.
