24 Hour Design Sprint: Aging in Place
April 14, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - April 15, 2023 @ 4:00 pm
Calling students from ALL majors!
Are you passionate about design? Do you enjoy problem solving? Do you want the chance to win over $3,000 in prize money?
Sign up for the Aging in Place Design Sprint!
A Design Sprint is an intensive problem solving session in which students work in teams to develop solutions to a real-world problem. Participants learn the Design Thinking process for understanding problems and developing innovative solutions. The session closes with teams pitching their ideas to win prizes and fame!
The Challenge: given that many people spend the final years of their lives in senior care facilities or hospitals, how might we design a home environment that evolves with the needs of aging individuals to provide the care and comfort they need to spend their latter years happy and healthy at home.
APRIL 14th – 15th, 2023
4pm Friday to 4pm Saturday*
@ the FSU Innovation Hub
*with 8-hour break for sleep at home
