Creative Capacity Building
Creative Capacity Building suggests that the underlying principles of co-creation and crowd-sourcing-- typically applied to computer software development, corporate management, or high-end product design --can also be relevant to technology innovations aimed at ending poverty. This is only possible when the conditions exist for full participation in the entire design process by the people for whom these technologies are intended, which means investing in strategies that increase local capacity and support local innovation. --- MIT

The workshop helped refugee youth rebuild a positive self-image beyond the marginalized identity of “refugee”– at the end of the workshop, they could see themselves in a new way: as makers and innovators.
- The design process is both an art and a science, and exists in many different disciplines. Afundamental way to look at engineering design is that you are trying to create a solution to a problem. The following steps will help get you on the road to finding a good solution; they can be used as a...
