Rekindling Student Connection and Engagement: A Covid-Era Design Charrette

Rekindling Student Connection and Engagement: A Covid-Era Design Charrette

Ciftci, Hazal Gumus ; Nickley, William ; Proulx, Sébastien ;

Full Paper:

The last three semesters have been full of struggles, change, and adaptation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As design educators, we are prone to adaptation and navigating through ambiguity, but our students still need to practice finding their own way. We, an industrial design program, realized there has been a disengagement and disconnection between our students due to the hybrid and online education environment forced on us by COVID-19. This situation inspired us to organize a vertical charrette with the goal of invigorating communication between our industrial design cohorts while strengthening ties with a local partner specializing in large-scale 3D printing. For two weeks, our students worked together to create “parklet” design concepts. As a result, fifteen concepts were generated and seven of them were selected by the producer to be partly or entirely manufactured, but more importantly students got to enjoy the studio spirit and a collaborative environment.
