The priorities of the fall 2022 Design Bloc UIF cohort are:
#Encourage interdisciplinary creation more people of different majors and age ranges to get involved with Design Bloc by providing a larger range of guidance and innovation workshops#Focus on ways to enhance learning by emphasising collaboration between students across different colleges, education levels, and majors at evaluating the instituteeffectiveness of Design Bloc's programming
==Strategy 1: Design Thinking ClubExpanding design bloc's mini-mester program==
* Provide a place Host seminars for students to get feedback on their projects various fields of study not taught at Georgia Tech, like visual communication, digital art, philosophy, and how to work with the design thinking processmore, taught by visiting experts and fellows (some UIF-ers?)* Foster a culture where students from all disciplines can communicate without pressure, both online or face-to-face* Offer various perspectives as a source of inspiration and guidance through diversity of participants
