Design for San Diego (D4SD) Design Jam 4 | May 1
Connect: Creating Compelling Stories and Making Connections
Without a good story, even the best of ideas can fall flat. In this final design jam, participants will develop pitch materials, including a poster and a short elevator pitch, to effectively communicate the problem and proposed solutions. Attend this jam session to polish your pitch materials and to help prepare for the online D4SD Summit, where participants will connect with stakeholders to translate proposals into action.
Virtual Location: Zoom links will be provided for registered attendees before each session.
About this Event
- Who can attend? These free D4SD design jams are for anyone seeking to apply design thinking to civic issues in San Diego–from beginners to experts.
- What will I need to participate? You will need a laptop, an internet connection, and a free Zoom account.
- What happens during the 3-hour design jam? The D4SD team will lead the first 90 minutes, with the first 30 minutes dedicated to challenge updates and design thinking basics, followed by facilitated exercises and discussions. Stay for the last 90 minutes to continue jamming in smaller breakout groups.
Note: Participants may submit proposals for the D4SD Summit without joining these design jams. Likewise, participants in the design jams do not need to join for the D4SD Summit on May 15, although we encourage all to join. If you are new to D4SD, the Design Jams will help you prepare to submit proposals for the D4SD Summit.
