Great minds...think divergently! Join us for an experimental design charette to create a mobile, community-centered experience to inspire conservation action through the development of empathy for animals.
Be part of a facilitated design process to imagine a brand-new outreach experience that will bring marine animals and conservation activities into neighborhoods. No design or zoology experience needed - just curiosity, creativity and empathy. This mobile interactive experience will inspire participants to adopt and understand the perspective of wildlife. Charette contributors will engage in facilitated activities and work collaboratively to address this playful, empathy-centered design challenge.
