Find out during MOUSE Corps LEGACY Workshops 1&2

During this 2-part Design & Prototype Workshop on Thursday February 4th AND Tuesday February 9th, global design firm IDEO will give you the tools to bring big ideas to life. These workshops will introduce you to the "user-centered" design process and help grow your work skills in all areas. If you're thinking about a career creating with technology: programming, digital media, web design - these workshops are 4 you!

From computer interfaces to cellphone apps to toothbrushes to pollution in India - IDEO has used 'human centered design' to create solutions for thousands of major corporations across the world (check out their client list).

For this 2-part series, our friends at IDEO will help you prototype a product that you will design yourself! These workshops are the kickoff to the MOUSE Corps Legacy Project - where you will work one-on-one with MOUSE & professional technology mentors on a project of your own creation.
