WE ANNOUNCED OUR CONFERENCE⭐️

Location: Virtual
Interventions: Disrupt, Scout’s annual design conference, is officially BACK for another year! You can learn more on the Interventions: Disrupt website! Interventions: Disrupt is a showcase of design thinking as a driving force for social change. Our conference unites design-thinking leaders across industries and disciplines to explore design's role in creating spaces of inclusion, activism, and community. With a series of presentations, panels, and workshops, our speakers share what inspires them to remain steadfastly committed to positive change in the face of an uncertain world.
WHAT HAS LABS BEEN UP TO?👀
Throughout the Fall Semester, Scout Labs conducted research to understand the challenges and opportunities associated with community engagement in virtual spaces in the City of Boston. They will continue developing creative solutions to these challenges, such as a landing page with engagement details and accessibility resources. At the end of this project, we hope to share solutions for virtual spaces that truly support community engagement during the pandemic and beyond.
