Elon By Design

In partnership with the Power and Place Collaborative and Burlington Summer Youth Camps, Elon Master of Education students connected over 200 Burlington youth through design thinking workshops on the power of sharing stories and connecting to our communities.

The 2022 Design Thinking Community of Practice supports faculty projects infusing design thinking across the curriculum.

Leaders in the world of design thinking congregated at Elon April 7-9 for the fifth annual Design Forge.

Human Service Studies, PT and PA students came together to learn about the complexities of caring for children and adults with special needs from APTA-NC Outstanding PT Award-winner, Karen Tartick.

The annual Design Forge will last from April 7 through April 9 with a series of discussion and events featuring Elon faculty and design thinking professionals from around the world.

The Center for Design Thinking and Elon parent Scott Duncan present "Imagine That!," a game to help catalyze student motivation towards team- and challenge-based learning.

The Power and Place Collaborative's second collection of digital stories documenting the lives of Alamance County's Black community premiered Dec. 4 and are available at its website and through the African American Cultural Arts and History Center.

The Power and Place Collaborative is a partnership between Elon University, Burlington's Mayco Bigelow Center, and the African American Cultural Arts and History Center. Students interviewed community members and edited their oral histories into short videos.

The Maker Hub and Center for Design Thinking have partnered together to create the Passport to Play initiative, which rewards students for visiting locations, interacting with social media, creating projects, and learning new skills!
