The fall semester is off to a busy start at the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation. In addition to our courses and talk series, we’re excited to expand upon our popular workshops, which give students hands-on opportunities to develop new skills and learn more about the Institute’s resources. Our past workshops have included everything from chocolate prototypes to laser cut Valentines and our upcoming programs promise to be just as exciting. In the coming months, students can explore the fabrication tools at Jacobs Hall, develop their own custom graphics and apps, and learn what it means to think like a designer. We’re always adding to our lineup, so keep your eyes on this page for future updates!
