Join the Design Research Society and CoDesign Collaborative for a panel discussion on failure in design with speakers from FCAT.

The Design Research Society is partnering with CoDesign Collaborative to host a panel discussion on the importance of failure in design, featuring speakers from the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT). Join us on Wednesday, June 26, from 11:45 am – 1:00 pm ET at the MFA Boston Remis Auditorium.
