“Design in Practice” teaches students the fundamentals of design thinking by challenging them to build a weight-bearing chair using just six 30-by-40-inch sheets of cardboard, with no glue or fasteners. Now in its 10th year, the popular course attracts Terps from across campus. Read more in Maryland Today.
