The Design Forum is a place for MIT students and affiliates to practice ‘design’ more creatively; our concept is to iterate quickly over ideas with little to no regard for the later steps of the design process.

We meet on Saturdays at 1pm on the MIT campus. If you’re interested in coming to a meeting, add yourself to the list defo@mit.edu.

For more information, please email us at noice@mit.edu.

Our meeting format is in continuous flux; this post holds its current state, while posts below this are reflections from particular meetings.
