The College of Art and Design at Rochester Institute of Technology co-hosted the 2018 Fram Applied Critical Thinking Signature Event: Critical Thinking to Making. This event is sponsored by the Eugene H. Fram Chair in Applied Critical Thinking. Marco van Hout, Head of Programs & Impact of the Digital Society School in Utrecht, Netherlands, delivered the Fram signature lecture and conducted three workshops for RIT students. The title of Marco’s lecture was Design for Transformation, Needs a Transformation in Design. The Digital Society School seeks to research the impact of technology on society, develop the skills necessary to guide the transformation, and pass on this knowledge and these skills to a new generation of professionals.
Workshops were also conducted by RIT College of Art and Design faculty members Amy McLaren, Marla Schweppe, and Mari Jaye Blanchard.
