Inclusive Design Workshop
Taubman Design Center
Design Jam: Adaptive Products for Outdoor Recreation is a fast paced and fun interactive training and product innovation event for manufacturers, makers, limb loss community members, innovators, entrepreneurs, designers, students, problem solvers, design faculty, business coaches, recreational athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.
Interdisciplinary teams come together in a state of the art laboratory to collectively brainstorm and prototype adaptive apparel, accessories and equipment, bringing product design and innovation, which typically happens behind closed doors, into an open, collaborative space.
Participants gain empathy and listening skills, learn how to apply the principles of inclusive, human centered design to their future work, and initiate professional relationships across sectors and industries.
