Welcome

This advanced Industrial Design studio aims to cultivate designers for social entrepreneurship by examining the role of design in this field, identifying key methodologies and models of social entrepreneurship, and investigating the power of product, system and service design to create positive social and environmental change. This semester, as social entrepreneurial designers, students will use design and design thinking to address social and environmental issues prevalent in Providence and our surrounding communities. In partnership with Social Venture Partners Rhode Island (SVPRI), students will have the opportunity to work with a network of local non-profits and social ventures to examine different models of social enterprise and work to develop in-depth proposals for new or existing ventures that will benefit these organizations and our local community.
