Final Crit and Goodbyes!

Well, the first ever RISD Design for Social Entrepreneurship advanced studio has officially come to a close. We finished off with great presentations and a party at Krisa's place! During the critique, we got to see the latest developments in everyone's projects with numerous guest critics. You can check out the project on our project page here.  After the presentations, we had a great group discussion on the role of industrial design in today's society. 

Stay tuned for videos! And see below for pictures.
