FYS 1271 - Community Design Lab

Credits: 4
What does it mean to “design for good?” Students will become citizen-designers and work collaboratively between on and off-campus partners in Westminster to establish a research question that will guide their creative work throughout the semester. Brainstorming, experiential learning, play, and research will be used to create artifacts, systems, or experiences for citizens of Westminster and the McDaniel community. This course includes frequent walking trips to destinations off-campus and there may be one or more experiences where student work is showcased to the general public. No previous art experience is required.
