During this unique moment in time — redefining what our new normal looks like, in our homes, work & life -- the importance of play is amplified as never before. Play principles, mechanics and mindsets are an essential toolkit for powerful experience design. They foster engagement, build resilience and spark delight, which help us collectively navigate ambiguity, build trust and reimagine a world inclusive of us all. 

In this class students will explore the playful nature of creativity to help real world project partners infuse their products and services with joy and transform their organizations to be more playful. Students will learn how the playful mind is essential to productive thinking and underlies the creativity required for the best ideas. You will also work collaboratively to ask and answer: How might play be a vehicle for wellness? How might play connect people and rebuild community?

This class is for students of all experience levels, we will redefine play as we learn, and develop skills to move from the abstract to the concrete - with meaning, goals, and principles.
