This project offered students a rare opportunity to help ideate and build design experiences at Duke. Students gained content knowledge about design thinking and human-centered design, planned and executed a one-day design learning summit, built educational resources for use at Duke and beyond and helped design Duke’s new Open Design+ summer research experience.

Team members also built a design framework that is dedicated to an open ethos, a design process that values and promotes access to information, inclusion, diversity, transparency and meritocracy and to collaboration and community. This brand is called “open design.”
