About
Want to use your skills to make a real difference right here in Happy Valley? Design for America (DFA) is a national network of student-led studios that use human-centered design to tackle social challenges in their own communities. At Penn State, we meet bi-weekly to work on projects aimed at directly helping the Penn State community.
Part of the DFA experience is finding a social challenge you're genuinely passionate about, connecting with local organizations already working toward that mission, and figuring out how your unique skills can push that work even further. Along the way, you'll learn the design process: researching and empathizing with real people, defining the problem, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, and testing solutions.
Last year, our studio took on mental health and social media here in Happy Valley, and we're excited to see where this year takes us.
DFA is open to all majors. Engineers, artists, business students, psych majors, and everyone in between bring something valuable to the table. No design experience is needed.
