I wanted to send along to you our announcement of our second annual Summer Innovation Lab Internship Program. Our first year was very successful with students from Institute of Design and Parsons. We’re casting our net a little bit wider – going coast to coast! – from all the top schools. This means any student coming from your program would have the opportunity to work with students from other schools! (Also, we are hiring for a Design Research Associate – new Masters graduate – so if you want more info, please email me!)
