Mike Glaser, Product Design Professor, participated with the Austin Center for Design, Thinktiv and Frog Design at the Design for Impact boot camp in Austin Texas on Saturday, March 26th. Design for Impact is an overt redirection of creative design efforts, in order to tackle the large-scale humanitarian problems that plague our country and our world. The design process is purposefully applied to issues of poverty, access to clean drinking water, equality of education, and other large problems, and the outcome is a combination of products, services, and systems that are intended to better the human experience.
