SUMMARY:Break it Until you Make It! The Egg Drop Challenge Using Sustainable Materials
DESCRIPTION:Participants of all ages and walks of life will experience techniques of design and arts through hands-on activities using simple tools and sustainable\, recyclable\, reused materials (provided by the organizing team). The participants will be divided into teams; each team will be challenged to devise a way to prevent an egg from breaking when dropped from a height of 12 feet off the ground! Teams will draw\, plan\, and build prototypes\, working collaboratively under the guidance of design professors from SFSU. The moment of truth – the egg drop! – will be recorded and shared with participants.  Additionally\, people attending the workshop will take a half-hour guided tour of the School of Design facilities\, visiting shops\, classrooms\, asking questions\, and seeing students’ works exhibited in the hallways and galleries. \nWorkshop Location: Fine Arts Building Terrace (meeting point at the ramp between the Fine Arts and the Cesar Chavez buildings)

Bust. Boom. Bust. Welcome to San Francisco.  \nOur city’s natural beauty and self-expressive nature have always saved us. Throughout history our vistas and creative citizens have consistently inspired awe.

Founded in 2011\, we’ve been working quietly to create a city-wide foundation of artful endeavor that embraces the multifaceted spirit of San Francisco\, in all its nuance and vibrancy. After 12 years we’re ready to bring the story into focus\, in service of community. Bust times are the best of times when we take charge of the place we call home. Let’s create the city in which we want to live.  \nAbout Agents of Change:\nA new series produced by Design Bay Area in partnership with Pact Studio deciphering the magic of change and how it happens and amplifying the voices of change makers. Through presentations\, panels and workshops the Agents of Change series examines pathways for change and to share stories from experiences of change-makers making a difference.   \nAcross industries and disciplines\, we examine how to harness sources of disruption for creativity\, innovation and growth. By amplifying fresh perspectives from diverse groups of people\, Agents of Change aims to help seed connections\, create economic opportunities\, and provide a starting point for taking action. \nAbout Design Bay Area:\nDesign Bay Area is a platform dedicated to promoting design and amplifying the voices of the California design community\, and those in adjacent fields\, to create economic opportunities by fostering the local and international community. \nAbout Pact:\nPact Studio is a Mission-based branding studio built on partnership\, integrity\, and trust—committed to developing distinct and strategic brand identities with intentional points of view. \nGet to know us\, and you’ll find a team of passionate collaborators seeking out new perspectives to create more equitable and meaningful outcomes.

SUMMARY:HCI: Human Connection Interaction
DESCRIPTION:Leave your titles at the door\, and arrive with curiosity in your heart. This gathering is a chance to get to know each other for who you really are without your job title\, achievements\, accomplishments\, or other markers of status and success. First names only. No job titles or company names. For one hour\, you’ll step into an altered reality where you’ll learn about others and allow yourself to be known not for “what you do” but for who you are — as humans who have triumphed over the twists and turns of your life. You will be immersed in others’ stories\, and you’ll bless them by sharing your own. This guided conversation is an experience of uncommon authenticity and you might discover that this co-created experiment is your favorite interaction of the week. If you crave openness\, intimacy\, kindness\, and you have a willingness to try new things\, then this is absolutely for you.
