Session Description

Do your students say “We’re designing an X and we want you to show us the ‘right’ steps to take”? Come join us for a lively, interactive session focused on how design timelines - where students visually self-track their own design process - can be used help students engage more authentically with their design experiences and design learning. You’ll hear from multiple panelists who have used design timelines in their classes and get to work with other attendees to prototype and explore possible futures.
