Designing for a Sustainable Future

Some friends from Jump and the Human-Computer Interaction Design program of the School of Informatics at Indiana University (as well as others: organizers) are hosting a workshop at the Creativity and Cognition Conference October 27th in Berkeley.

Here's the scoop:

DESIGNING FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE is a day devoted to applying sustainable design ideas to software initiatives. Our initial focus will be on the areas of research, synthesis, experience design, and interaction design, but participants will take the conversation from there to formulate something truly inspiring and practical.

We welcome participants from industry, government, and education who are involved with strategy, planning, ideation, ethnography, synthesis, design, construction, and collaboration, whether in theory or in practice.
