The heart of the course will be a design project in which students collaboratively use the tools of creative problem solving to develop adaptive equipment to meet needs of a community partner that employs adults with cognitive or physical disabilities. Focused on design thinking, the learning will be centered in a maker space for paper making, marbling, and printing (3D and letterpress). Through the project, students will additionally practice critique, collaboration, and communication, as well as deepen epistemological understanding of the nature of science and innovation.
