This collection showcases lesson plans and materials developed by ENGS 15.11 Design and Education students. The course explores intellectual synergies between design and education including three explicit intersections: how design methods help us create better learning experiences; how design pedagogies can be valuable to the instruction of non-design subjects; and how human-centered design might help us address persistent problems in education systems.
