Paper Airplane Events, AIGA
When: Saturday, Janurary 18, 2014, 8:30AM – 5:00PM
Where: Good Shepherd Center, 4649 Sunnyside Avenue North, Seattle
What: A single sheet of paper, with enough ingenuity and deft folding, can be flown around a classroom like a kite on a windy day. That same creativity, when focused on a community, can bring about solutions that light a fire under it’s residents and inspire them to change the world, starting with their very own block. AIGA Seattle would like to introduce a new kind of event. One where we gather 30 creative thinkers under the same roof to solve a community problem through sustainable design thinking. We call it Paper Airplane, and it’s a design for community movement.
Design Challenge:
Solve the problem assigned to you in a way that is actionable, sustainable, and for the community.
Details:
On the third Saturday of 2014, AIGA will gather at the Good Shepherd Community Center to embark on an all day design-thinking extravaganza. In the morning they will describe the sustainable design thinking framework called the Living Principles, share some inspiring case studies that illustrate some ways in which others have solved the assigned problem (the problem is a secret until the day of the event), and then break up into groups of 5 and be given your initial instructions.
During this event you will:
- Learn creative brainstorming and collaboration techniques that will yield surprising results
- Learn how to use the sustainable design thinking framework called the Living Principles
- Get inspired by all the ideas flowing from the concentrated creative energy in the room
- Forge brilliant new relationships with others in your community who want to change the world
- Win an award (okay, well maybe not all of you ;)
