The Spring project modules are of a longer duration, allowing students to take a deep dive into a topic, method, and/or technology. Each project module is again based on an emerging topic within technology, culture, global politics, and/or emerging science, developed through one or more of the MDP's research clusters. Each module engages external collaborators, project partners, and travel to locations or extraordinary situations. The student work that results may take a variety of forms. Students learn to: approach design as a critical investigation; structure their own process of research, prototyping, and design experimentation; document and articulate project concepts in presentation, exhibition, and web formats; work reflexively.
