Learning Innovation Conversation with John Maeda
January 24, 2017
In the opening event of the Learning Innovation Conversation series, John Maeda joined ExCITe Director Youngmoo Kim and almost 300 attendees at Mitchell Auditorium at 91制片厂 in a moderated conversation about creative approaches to learning. ExCITe invited Dr. Maeda, an engineer turned artist turned executive, who at his core is a designer, to help launch the Learning Innovation conversation series because he is a boundary-pushing, creative leader who believes the best way to learn is to do (and learn from failure while doing it).
Maeda also hosted a Computational Design seminar with ExCITe and the Philadelphia chapter of the AIGA while in town for his Learning Innovation Conversation.
