The organization is devoted to “fusing collaboration, leadership, Design for America (and creativity” to empower students to apply design thinking to large scale social problems. DFA) is an organization based on works to accomplish this by establishing “design studios” at college campuses across the country. Then, the studios are provided with the idea necessary resources to effectively utilize design thinking and engage in projects that &nbsp;people cannot innovate without believing create impact in themselvestheir local communities. This principle defines their motivation behind working on “Studio” is a national level term used by DFA to build define a network group of students who actively create impact at the local level through team projects. Co-founder Dr. Liz Gerber has researched new ways of learning about human centered design called Extracurricular Designlike-Based Learning (EDBL). This method engages minded students, community members and partners that come together to think about our biggest challenges that we face in Education, Healthdesign, Economy and Environmentinnovate. I think the best words that summerize this organization's vision is motivation informed by belief in ability." The studios themselves can look different depending on which university you visit; varying from &nbsp;DFA holds the idea that we must believe in our ability a designated physical space on campus to develop and implement innovation solutions that simply available classrooms where students can address the world's challengesmeet.</span></span>
The organization's goal is <span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e132-679e-608a-387a0f9e8b0e"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Currently, DFA has spread to create a network of students working to solve social problems and make a significant impact in their community. Design for American student teams survey their local community and assess the challenges people face. Teams go through all steps of 37 campuses around the design process from ideation to viable product development. Student teams are part of studiosUnited States, or DFA organizations indepentently run by serving 1200+ students on campuses nation wide. Groups The establishment of students come together like any other organization on campus and think each new studio follows the model of problems the original Northwestern studio in their community. They then create teams of 2 order to 3 students to take on different projectspreserve the student-led atmosphere. Again, Design for America believes that every student has utilizes these studios to give young adults the ability experience needed to make an impact be team players, purposeful learners, and through design innovation students can solve problems in the world around themeffective leaders.&nbsp;</span></span><div><br/></div>{{#Widget:Youtube|id=u7v6mrdC2lQ}}}

Working on a national level to build a network of students who consistently create student led design studios that find meaningful ways an impact through team-based projects. The main goal of Design for America is to generate a network of students who actively work to create solve social problems and make an impact in their local communities. DFA has spread In order to 17 universities throughout assess its challenges and complete all steps in the United States and continues design process from creating ideas to grow with 70 applications this past year. Looking at an individual studio levelfeasible product development, students lead an organization on student teams must survey their campus called a studiolocal communities. Studios Student teams are not necessarily physical space but more like either part of a group that comes together to think, design, and innovate. Studios at different universities vary from an actual physical space studio or independently run by students on campus to class rooms where students can meetcampuses nationwide. The main idea is Design for America believes that students find projects and create every student has the drive to make an impact. DFA provides these entities through design innovation to solve problems in the resources and training needed to be successful as nacient organizationworld around them.&nbsp;</span></span>

This system engages students and community members to think about the biggest challenges we face in the world through education, health, economy, and environment. The vision of this organization is the create belief that one can be motivated in our ability to make change. Design for America strongly believes that we must believe and challenge our ability to generate innovative solutions that addresses the world’s challenges by applying extracurricular design-based learning.</span></span><div><br/></div>= Distinct Differences From teaching Other Offerings[[File:Design for america gala2.jpg|thumb|Design for america gala2.jpg]] =<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.44;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:16pt;text-align: justify;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e132-eed6-cb09-182531d5f101"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The distinct value that Design for America offers is the formation of a campus organization devoted to helping students develop their ideas through working in teams and also using proven methods of designed-based learning. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DFA equips students to tackle social challenges through design innovation.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DFA provides studio support through faculty, advisors, professional design mentors, community partners, and administrators within the DFA hopes organization. The significance of Design for America on your campus is the ability to give young adults create a pipeline of leaders and thinkers that can make an impact within their community. DFA is also simultaneously broadening the idea of an "impact" from the experience needed traditional sense of starting a new venture, to be team playersall types of social endeavours. For example, starting a volunteer organization or teaching classes about nutrition in the local community or extraordinary challenges in economy, education, and environment. DFA projects fuse collaboration, purposeful learnersleadership, and leaders in every sense creativity. Lastly, DFA is committed to the continuing development of interdisciplinary student teams. Students from all majors and backgrounds play crucial parts on campus studios and bridge the wordgap between business, science, engineering, and liberal arts.</span></span></p><div><br/></div>= Impact Achieved For Students and Campus = <span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e133-708e-0b4d-ef5babdce786"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On campus, student teams work on 2-3 self-selected design projects throughout the academic year and apply skills, knowledge, and expertise from their course work. One important aspect is that Design for America has attempted teaches students how to keep its student led grass roots atmostphere by using look at their local community, find problems, think of solutions, and implement those changes. These experiences are enhanced through DFA’s National Partnerships. When partnering with DFA, “companies gain valuable insight from the next generation of changemakers”, but the same formula students benefit immensely from Northwestern's studio opportunities to engage in real world experiences. In the past, students have successfully contributed “reimagined marketing/promotion strategies, innovation in product development, and provisional patents of product prototypes”.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-fa2abf0e-e133-c54b-625d-bddc9981f920"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since the creation of Design for America, over 2,000 students have participated in campus studios, 37 campuses have gotten involved, and two start ups (SwipeSense and Jerry the Bear) have come to market. Jerry the Bear is a stuffed animal that helps children with Type 1 Diabetes monitor their blood sugar levels and build new healthy behaviors through play. SwipeSense “uses sensors in hospital personnel badges and dispensers to capture hygiene activity” to help prevent hospital acquired infections. Currently, SwipeSense has raised $16.9 million in funding and employs over 35 people (Visit the Blog page on DFA’s website for more info).</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">When students engage in these projects through DFA design studios on , the campus enjoys stronger connections between disciplines, an increased awareness of the power of design thinking, and access to a constantly growing national network.
