Inspired by the Japanese art of Chindōgu, this class will introduce a playful and whimsical approach to learn industrial design.

In this 14-week studio format class, students will develop gadgets, inventions, and electronic devices that present absurd solutions to problems, while learning concepts and techniques of design ideation, prototyping, model making, CMF (color, material, and finishes), and manufacturing.

This is a production heavy four-credit course, where students will learn about industrial design and tangible interactions.
