A Futurist's View of New Materials in the Outdoor Space:

Come join us at SOARE for our first lunch & learn session with the highly knowledgable with Stephanie Phillips, the Sherman Jen Research Chair in Next Generation Design at KPU’s Wilson School of Design. Our afternoon will be spent on how to approach prototyping and evaluating new materials into your design and production processes.

The presentation and conversation will touch upon methods to work through in the prototyping process, and how you might test along the way to avoid too much time and expense on a material that isn’t going to work for your product development.

Your ticket comes with lunch and drink provided, so just bring yourself, and perhaps a friend or colleague!
