This Designathon invites students to explore the conference theme Entangle through a collaborative design process. Working in teams of 2-4, participants will respond to a prompt connected to relationships between humans, technologies, and environments across interconnected systems.
Teams will move through research, ideation, and prototyping to examine how interactions shape the world around us. It is an opportunity to experiment with design as a way to understand complex, intertwined systems.
