The third in a series that aims to help educators connect, share and thrive off each other in the design and education space. This series offers tips, dialogue, critical thought and a sense of community around design education.Each webinar will tackle a different topic in design academia.

This panel covers:
- Hackathons, charrettes, design jams, they are all popular, executed and exist in the college experience: How do we feel about them? Are they beneficial? In the college environment, should we deliver less, challenge more? What balance of facilitation vs delivery should we be aiming for?

Mangrove Web

I am a designer, artist, educator and small press publisher. As a creative director, my mission is to design a web that is more humane, that is crafted ethically, that is available to all visitors regardless of ability, and that is built using open source technologies. I also run a small, nascent and independent Riso-powered press, creating and publishing my own and other artists books in collaboration with others. My research interests include the history of vernacular typography and Jewish visual culture, as well as the strange and strained relationship between design and belief.
