This IAP introduces you to Design that Matters (offered at the MIT Media Lab, Spring 2002) and the ideas driving it. This is an Idea Factory! At Monday's session, we will hold a seminar on design for international development and sustainability, and identify design challenges faced by underserved communities. We will brainstorm design solutions to specific problems. At Thursday's session, we will hold a foam-flinging rapid-prototyping design studio, where we will build our designs from scratch using water jet cutters, CNC mills and 3D printers. The idea is that we will learn how to make anything, anything that matters! Note: This IAP course will be given as two sets of identical Monday-Thursday sessions. Participants are asked to choose one week to attend both sessions.
