Design Bloc
Georgia Tech's students, staff, faculty, and entrepreneurs excel at tackling technically complex problems. As part of that community, Design Bloc believes problem-solvers benefit from turning a critical eye to their problem statement. In any challenge, we look for the most benefit to all stakeholders.
Design Bloc teaches world-class problem solvers how to be thoughtful problem framers. These leaders reassess challenges, find alternate definitions to problems, and shift their perspective to identify diverse solutions inclusive of multiple user needs.
