In TECH 12000 (Design Thinking in Technology), teams of students work on a semester-long project, applying design thinking to solve locally relevant problems and challenges. Those teams displayed their solutions and ideas at the TECH 12000 public showcase on December 7, 2017, in Knoy Hall.
Presentations included:
