Introduction to Design Impact

Design can change the world. But whether it's for better or worse isn't a static outcome. Your work - like you - will change with time. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes for the worse. This course will introduce you to the powers and responsibilities of design work through a series of hands-on project-based learning experiences inspired by moments that changed the world - or better and worse - throughout the last 50 years in the United States in mid-20th century America.
