Most classes will meet online, with a few hyflex meetings on-campus in the 1111 Designmatters studio & in-person prototype testing at vaccine pop-up events organized by Get Out the Shot LA The Fall 2021 Designmatters Development Seminar builds on the design outcomes from the Summer 2021 "Vax for All: Design to overcome vaccine hesitancy & achieve equity" TDS studio. You will work as an interdisciplinary team to develop, prototype, and implement the CARE Vaccine Van modular system and branding, to make real-world social impact in providing COVID vaccines to LA's marginalized communities. You will engage a co-design approach rooted in empathy, to design for vaccine equity. Create highly resourceful designs that support families to get vaccinated together, with a focus on the 150,000 kids in LA who lack formal points of contact with the medical system. Co-create & prototype designs with subject matter experts, including grassroots health equity organization Get Out the Shot LA and community clinics such as Kedren Health. Test & iterate your prototypes at COVID-19 vaccine pop up events with local organizations, small businesses, and other community settings. Envision how a prototype Vaccine Van system can serve as a first step towards a larger initiative of a fleet delivering mobile primary care to under-served children, families and communities in the future.
