Fung Fellowship Seminar: Health + Innovation
The Fung Fellowship: Health + Innovation course explores how design, innovation, and technology can address diverse health challenges. The course follows a typical design process from learning → focusing → building → testing. Whether you’re an Engineering or English major, you will come away this semester with practical skills in human centered design: practical customer interviews, low-fidelity prototyping and better storytelling. My goal is that you gain skills to become the most effective person in the room after Cal. You will apply the concepts and skills to both individual and group-based design challenges. You will also work in small teams on a real-world design challenge and present your team's solution to a group of judges.
