\n\u201cDesign Innovation India Workshop\u201d aims to engage and inspire students across all disciplines right from pre-primary to tertiary level in inventing the future and motivating design driven innovation in our Education system. The workshop will further strengthen India\u2019s presence on the Design world map through this International Conference-cum-Workshop.<\/p>\n

Design education is one of the key thrust areas at the Apeejay institutions for almost 45 years now. ASU, India\u2019s first Liberal Arts & Meta University, is focused on research and technology and stands out as an amalgam of best international academic practices and Indian value system. Taking its vision to a larger audience, the \u201cDesign Innovation India Workshop\u201d is an attempt by ASU to engage students and industry partners in exhaustive ideation, design, and implementation of prototypes together with Media Lab and local mentors.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

The workshop will provide a training platform to students on principals of design and techniques for innovation and empower them to build their ideas in a short time frame. It offers participants and attendees a flavor of how the Media Lab “promotes innovation and invents the future.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\nThe five-day long workshop will comprise brain storming sessions, conference, talks, tutorials and exhibition that will be open to visitors from academia, industry leaders and the media. To be anchored by leading MIT researchers, the five Tracks (Themes) of the Workshop include:<\/div>\n
\n
\nTechnologies for creativity and learning:<\/b> Explore the design of innovative educational technologies and creative learning environments by drawing on specific case studies. Engage with new educational technologies, share learnings and discuss strategies to design new-age academic models.<\/p>\n

Mobility, Energy and Housing Innovations:<\/b> Meet the challenge to think about mobility, energy and housing innovations like lightweight electric vehicles, smart grid technologies, transformable housing, persuasive interfaces for energy conversation and incentives to encourage the use of more energy efficient mobility systems.<\/p>\n

Imaging on Steroids:<\/b> Exploit the potential of the billion cameras placed on our cell-phones, cars, houses perhaps our bodies, to best capture and display visual information. Explore technology, single shot 3D capture, post-capture refocusing of photographs, glasses-free 3D displays, collaborative imaging and much more!<\/p>\n

Living Mobile:<\/b> Gear up to design and build prototypes of new applications for living mobile. Play around with large-scale and small scale mobility around the house or office for using cell phones to augment social situations of all kind.<\/p>\n

Design for Sustainability:<\/b> Revisit the concept of sustainability with focused action plans to advance sustainable product and services design in diverse fields ranging from governance to education. Learn through relevant examples and case studies to design practical solutions to tackle this challenge.<\/p>\n
