Design Jams are a facilitated, iterative, interactive way for students to apply their public health knowledge to a real-world challenge. At this Design Jam, students will learn about design thinking principles and devise solutions for a persistent public health problem: "How might we support communities in recovering from and preventing firearm violence?" Facilitated by team members from the Center for Socially Engaged Design, participants will work together to identify strategies and present their proposed solutions to topic experts from across Michigan. Firearm violence is multifaceted and requires multifaceted solutions, and we hope that students from each of our SPH departments and Centers will consider bringing their experience and ideas.
