Join us for an interactive ‘lunch and learn’ that will introduce you to UBC’s Strategic Design method and how you can integrate some of its techniques into your classroom. This active learning method has been taught for over 9 years at UBC Sauder and more recently at the faculty of Arts and the School of Public Policy. This method has been the subject of a series of action research projects investigating the value of combining innovation process theory with human centred design practice (techniques) within a studio learning setting.
Details: This event seeks to offer you an understanding of the method and provide you with a toolkit produced as part of the TLEF on Wicked Problems and Strategic Design. We hope your interest in this event will be the beginning (or evolution) of a UBC-wide community of practice interested in design methodology.
Lunch will be provided.
This lunch & learn is open to all faculty and graduate students.
Date: Friday, November 24th, 2017, 12:30-1:30pm
