CCE 12
Designing Ideas for Campus and the Local Community Winter 2025

Class Details

Want to make a difference? Join us for a hands-on course where you’ll learn to identify real-world problems, brainstorm innovative solutions, and bring your ideas to life. We’ll explore topics like design thinking, entrepreneurship, and community-centered design. This isn’t just about theory; you’ll get to work with local communities, conduct interviews, collaborate with others, build prototypes, and pitch your ideas to potential investors. We will collaborate on group projects, feature guest speakers such as local community stakeholders and alumni, and go on trips to hot-spots for local creativity and innovation. This course is perfect for students who are passionate about social impact and making a difference, exploring their entrepreneurial potential, or simply developing valuable problem-solving skills. Let’s work together to solve problems on campus and in the community, and to create a more sustainable and equitable future! While the priority deadline is October 25, applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis.
