Co-Creating Community Centered Solutions that Support Maternal and Infant Health: Testing New Ideas Early and Often

February 27 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Multicolored sticky notes are stuck on a table. The sticky notes are written on with sharpies. There is also playdough and string on the table.

Human-centered design is an essential tool that ensures that community partners play a key role in generating and testing the innovative ideas that lead to desirable, feasible and viable solutions to their most pressing problems. During this hands-on workshop participants will learn the basics of the IDEO design thinking model and how it has been applied to reimagine a proactive, strengths-based approach to connecting mothers and their infant children to the resources that they need most.  The introduction will serve as an inspiration for participants to practice small group rapid prototyping techniques that similar communities might use to generate fast, lower-risk feedback on their ideas and solutions. These techniques will have value to students, faculty, or staff interested in engaging communities to create strengths based human-centered solutions and policies.

Registration for this event is closed. Thanks to everyone who came out on Tuesday afternoon!
