Fri Jun 13 - 7:00pm-8:00pm
Education Room

This event offers an in-depth discussion about developing a DC based community research and design lab. The proposed lab will include 3-D printers, laser cutters and other expensive machinery available to the public through an affordable membership to promote innovation and creativity in our nation's capital. The mission is to create a space that allows designers to take risks while being a hub of interactive and creative dialog. We will explore the steps needed to successfully implement this idea and actively incorporate participation from the public.

Panelists:

Brian Corrigan Rule breaker, problem-solver, designer and instructor at the Corcoran College of Art + Design specializing in design and design thinking. Interests include creative cities, experiences and collaboration.

Alicia Kersting Marathon runner, listener, reformer and entrepreneur specializing in policy and social responsibility. Interests include ventures, community and cultural sustainability.
