*Background:*
Design for America has chosen to team up with Makerspace Urbana for an
workshop series aimed at teaching the human-centered design process to the
members of Makerspace Urbana and the wider Urbana-Champaign community(all
ages, all welcome).

This will be carried out through 4 design workshops on urban flooding. In
these sessions, DFA students will work in tandem with Makerspace Urbana
members to conduct research using ethnographic techniques, reframe a design
challenge, prototype, test their designs and re-iterate them based on user
feedback from the John St Watershed Steering Committee. By the end of
Spring 2015, DFA and Makerspace hope to deliver an installation type
product to be handed over to the John Street Watershed Steering Committee.

The prototyping sessions will be a chance for Makerspace Urbana to mentor
DFA members and members of the public in the art of making things through
various media such as sewing, digital prototyping, 3D printing and other
skills.

*Agenda for Workshop 2: *
- Brainstorming sessions (30mins)
- Choose ideas (10mins)
- Forming groups to prototype those ideas Prototyping (40mins)
- Users will be invited to critique ideas. (40mins)

*This workshop will be facilitated by special guest Julian Bongiorno from
