Planetary Play: Design for Outer Space

Combine your passion for space with the power of design in this hands-on workshop!
Explore how to design for outer space and extreme environments alongside MIT students and guest speaker Skylar Tibbits, an Associate Professor at MIT. The group might even be joined by an astronaut!
Focusing on design skills applicable to various disciplines, students will engage in activities around the theme of outer space: ideation, low-fidelity prototyping, and compelling presentations.

In this session, middle and high school teachers are encouraged to sign up with 5-10 of their students. Students and teachers will have the opportunity to work together, and will also break out into student-only and teacher-only groups.

Lunch will be provided and students will get to take their prototypes home.

This workshop belongs to MAD’s Power of Design series, dedicated this year to Learning Discovery, and a part of Cambridge Science Festival.
