In collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder, the project aims to develop innovative, user-centric, and environmentally-conscious concepts and turn them into feasible, ready-to-launch, and manufacturable products. This is accomplished by combining product development principles and sustainable design to advance our knowledge of the product design process while creating and communicating our product for a tangible marketplace, Firefly.
Students have intentionally designed their products in hopes that users will rethink waste, spread climate change awareness, and inspire users to be more environmentally conscious. Support design education so that future students will have this same opportunity.
