Brief + Work
At the beginning of 2017, Community x Design partnered with the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYC EDC) and Civic Hall Labs to help develop content for and facilitate 8 ideation, prototyping, and design workshops for over 800+ participants from the five NYC boroughs.
We challenged participants to come up with solutions to the question: “how might we improve quality of life for seniors, youth, and immigrants in New York City?” We crafted all content from workshop programming to blog posts, and also facilitated 8 workshops. Our sessions taught new skills in framing the problem, design research, synthesis, ideation & brainstorming, prototyping, and user testing.
FROM THE MAYOR
“The power of the City’s tech ecosystem is its potential to create real tech-driven solutions that enhance the qualify of life in the City. The BigApps competition taps directly into that potential.”
