Join the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation and our Berkeley Master of Design (MDes) program for the Spring 2024 Design Showcase—a three-day rotating installation of projects, prototypes and research, highlighting the work and accomplishments of our students.
Over the course of Wednesday through Friday, May1-3, students will showcase work from a range of design innovation courses hosted at Jacobs Hall, including a Master of Design core course. Also on display will be club projects, individual proposals, and innovative prototypes supported by the Institute’s Innovation Catalysts grant program. This semesterly open house is a fabulous opportunity to converse with student designers and join in on Jacobs Hall’s interdisciplinary design community. All are welcome to attend — the showcase is free and open to the public!
