Where is design happening at Berkeley? UC Berkeley students from all over campus have been engaging in design to solve a diversity of real-world problems. On May 8th, the broader community is invited to see what Berkeley's student architects, engineers, scientists, planners, biologists, MBA's, artists and all forms of designers have been working on at the second Berkeley Design Fest. The Design Fest is an open house event where students will share their design projects. This open house event will give visitors a sense of the diversity and magnitude of the design activity occurring in departments throughout Berkeley. The first phase of Design Fest will take place at the College of Environmental Design from 10am-noon. The north campus phase of the Design Fest will take place from 1-5pm in the CITRIS Atrium, CITRIS Auditorium and the Blum Center.
On display will be hundreds of newly-created products designed to improve the lives of people from all walks of life. Student teams have been invited from an array of classes and student clubs, including: Human-Computer Interaction, New Product Development, Sustainable Product and Community Design, Design & Activism, Designing Innovative Public Health Solutions, Design For America, Berkeley Innovation, Mechanical Design and Prototyping, and Capstone Industry Projects.
"Design Fest" is emerging as a UC Berkeley campus tradition. This year's Design Fest features participants from new departments and student clubs which will help to highlight the breadth of Berkeley's design offerings. "What we are seeing is that design is not the provenance of one particular department or group, but rather the practice of active engagement by creative individuals everywhere," says Alice Agogino of Berkeley's Mechanical Engineering Department.

About Cal Design Lab at UC Berkeley:
Faculty and students from UC Berkeley's many schools and departments come together at the Cal Design Lab to work on critical design challenges. The goal of the lab is to be a nexus for interdisciplinary activity and to facilitate discourse that will help Berkeley to forge a strong identity around its multi-faceted strengths in design.
