Join us for
YP Week Basecamp: Day #5 at the CCAD Mind Market (5 Cleveland Ave. in downtown Columbus) during Columbus YP Week to learn about how major sectors of our city are transforming to accommodate an evolving workforce. This Basecamp event will be facilitated by
CCAD Master of Design professors and students.
It is FREE to attend and all are welcome.The final session of the week is an interactive Design Thinking exercise in which we’ll respond personally and creatively to the weeks’ themes. Design Thinking is a collaborative approach to innovation that begins with building a shared cross-disciplinary understanding of the problem and the stakeholders involved. This approach has become popular with business leaders, engineers, marketers, and product designers, in areas as diverse as healthcare, sustainability, education, urban planning, new product and service development, and entertainment.
Participants will work in groups using a variety of materials, as they are guided through a fast-paced series of activities. Participants come away not only with deeper insights about the week’s key lessons, but also with first-hand experience in one of today’s most important innovation methods in business, engineering, and design communities in companies such as Apple, Google, Starbucks, and P&G.
**Because of the nature of this workshop, participants must commit to the entirety of the time allotted. In addition, the number of attendees is limited to 50 people in order to make this session productive.**AGENDA:- 7:30-8:00AM Coffee, Breakfast, and Networking
