Monthly Meetup

As usual, this meeting will be an open lab time where we will work on projects. Come with ideas for projects, things you may have already started, or we'll try to match you up with an already existing project or idea.

Please comment below any ideas or projects you might want to work on.

UPDATE: Laura is under the weather, so she will not be presenting tonight.

In March 2015, Laura Andersen, Open Twin Cities Civic Design Lead, attended the Service Design in Government conference in London, England. Government representatives and designers from the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and more presented on how they're including human-centered design perspective in government services and policy development.

Join us on May 26th when Laura will share some of the high points of what she learned about what's going right and what's going . . . not so right as governments across the world test and iterate new and improved government services using service design.
