SI students are invited to a design jam to help nonprofit and community organizations develop a participant tracking system. The Open.Michigan Catalyst Series event will be co-hosted by the Community Information Corps at SI and Open.Michigan. It will run from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 24 in 1255 North Quad (a dinner will be provided).

As a participant, you’ll get experience with group brainstorming to come up with solutions for real problems that community organizations face. You’ll also learn about design techniques and how technology can be used to create solutions. Best of all, you don’t need a programming background to contribute your ideas.

Representatives from the Neutral Zone in Ann Arbor and the Ruth Ellis Center in Detroit will attend. If you’d like to participate, please RSVP.
