> I am Zonghe a studio lead from Design for America (DFA) UIUC. DFA is a network of student run design studios that seek to use human centered design to solve problems within the community. A faculty member from the Department of Computer Science , Karrie Karahalios has recommended we apply for University of Illinois Public Engagement Grant $1500 grant to use design as an outreach tool to the community. She has volunteered to be our faculty advisor. However, I was notified of this just today and the deadline is this Friday 3/14. However, I think that we can make this work if we act fast.

The $1500 will be used to bring in design thinking speakers, host workshops base on design thinking processes and will be geared towards making novel inventions and hacks to tackle contemporary social issues within the community and beyond. We are thinking also partnering experienced DFAers to co-collaborate in these projects.
