Listened to Colleen Macklin At the College of the Fenway Conference at Simmons College. http://t.co/GAx5GA5Ycx and played her new Meta game, available through kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2093152267/the-metagame-discuss . I had to argue why students should be required to perform Cats by Weber in spandex. My position was it would promote diversity because under the spandex we are all Cats.
I also gave a short presentation titled “Beware of Rocks” on how in design, computer technology has become ubiquitous, an intrinsic part of the new designer’s skill set, but it can mislead, misrepresent, or distract from core principles in educating the new designer. I also talked about all the press about “Design Thinking” lately, but that my feeling was that the key actually lays in the “Design Making”.
