The Invention Mode is an experience crafted for creative thinkers—natural designers who tend to envision the new by challenging assumptions. Targeting the invention process, students explore what it means to be a designer. Students shift perspectives, envision details and patterns, brainstorm, play and improvise, and juxtapose and reframe, all in an attempt to reform the old by imagining the new.
