Empathy and HCD  >  2 Human Centered Design Organizations

 

Design at UC Berkeley 

  •  Decal

    CourseThreads  - Human-Centered Design

    • (video: introduction to Design Decal) (Video: Products of Empathy)

    • (Facebook CourseThreads)
      The Course Threads Program allows Berkeley undergraduates to explore intellectual themes that connect courses across departments and disciplines. Without creating new majors or minors, the program instead highlights connections between existing courses. Course Threads help students see the value in educational breadth while also pursuing a more in-depth and well-rounded knowledge on one particular topic. Following a thread is easy: simply sign up, enroll in at least 3 courses from the thread over the course of your study at Berkeley, and participate in at least one year-end symposium.

     

  • DFA BERKELEY -  (UC Berkeley)  (Facebook)  (Events)

    • DFA UC Berkeley This year, we started working in our permanent studio space at the Cal Design Lab. We love having a studio filled with prototyping materials and plenty of whiteboard space! We honed our surveying skills by going out into the community and interviewing the homeless. "We are an interdisciplinary group of thinkers, doers, and shakers. The DFA UC Berkeley studio thrives on diversity and collaboration. We welcome innovators and visionaries of all backgrounds. As a campus with a proven propensity for social change and community outreach, we strive to connect with those around us to redesign the world, globally. Through human-centered design, the DFA UC Berkeley studio embraces creativity and change, whilst staying true to our city’s activist roots. By working with students, faculty, and the greater community beyond the Berkeley campus, we envision our studio to simply make a difference."

    • Berkeley Innovation: Human-Centered Design Club at UC Berkeley (Facebook)
