This event will consist of a series of workshops and talks that draw upon the expertise present within the Design research labs and educational portfolio of the Department of Design at Monash University. Each event will draw on one of the five points in our “make” manifesto: Make transformational learning experiences through creativity, curiosity and collaboration. Make innovative through designing with new technologies, experimentation and risk taking. Make sustainable cities through environmental stewardship and designing beyond the human centric. Make healthy communities by designing for wellbeing, safety and equity. Make inclusive research and practice by designing with diverse people, cultures and places. Make collaborative creative partnerships with local and international communities, industries, institutions and governments.
