Description

During the Fall 2009 and Winter 2010 quarters, DMS and eMAD will be offering a unique joint program, Designing Good Information.

The Denver Office of Cultural Affairs is planning a city-wide event during the summer of 2010, the Biennial of the Americas: In Good We Trust in which education will play a leading role and in this endeavor DOCA has presented a unique opportunity to the University of Denver to create content for this event. The city-wide exposition is a new model for a Biennial that creates exhibitions, events, and new tools to visualize and act upon a movement of social entrepreneurs and creative innovators who work at the intersection of science and design for the public good.

Students will work together and in collaboration with community researchers and thinkers in fields such as ecology, technology, and energy to produce visualizations, creative mappings and technologically engaging presentations to educate and inspire the Denver community and beyond to work together in creating a better future for all.
