There are many opportunities to improve the quality of life of those involved in humanitarian crises and disasters through technical advancements. However, it is common for these technical systems to fail due to lack of consideration for the complicated context of the humanitarian space. In this course, an introduction will be provided to the organizations and cultural issues involved in the humanitarian space and the socio-political considerations involved in developing systems in this arena. Attendees will participate in a conceptual design exercise that will bring to light some of the complexities of HADR design. Design concepts will be presented and discussed with evaluators who have had humanitarian field experience.
