Eugene Live!
In partnership with Lane Arts Council, middle and high school students apprentice in graphic, digital, and physical design. Students pair with a professional designer (often UO Product Design instructors or alumni), and use the industry design tools available at UO, including: studio classrooms, digital design lab, 3D printers, laser cutter, shop tools and exhibition spaces.
Students work alongside their mentor to understand the professions of design, explore specific ways to approach design, and begin creating innovative products of their own. In addition to learning a creative practice, students also explore the business aspects of a creative career, bolstering college and career readiness regardless for their chosen field.
