The fifth annual Design Science Lab is being held this summer, June 22-29, 2009 at the UN in New York and Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA. Also— an additional 2009 Lab is being held July 6-11 in New York at the UN and the UN International School.
What happens: Students and young professionals from around the world are briefed by UN experts, learn and use a powerful design, planning, and problem solving methodology based on the work of Buckminster Fuller and other scientists and designers, and then use these tools to develop solutions to a major problem confronting the world. Participants develop designs and strategies for achieving one or more of the UN's Millennium Development Goals. This year the focus is on developing a blueprint for a green global economy.
Participants work collaboratively and intensely for seven days. They present their work to UN staff on the last day of the Lab, as well as have it published in an annual report. Further details and registration information are at: http://www.designsciencelab.com You can also download reports from previous Labs as well as see a short movie that describes the work at this same address. |
