This document outlines an agenda for a participatory design jam focused on designing for society. It provides tips for participants, including filling out index cards with their skills and interests and dividing into multidisciplinary teams. It also presents an example design challenge for participants to work on improving travel experiences for wheelchair users. The goal is to design with and for users through creative solutions generated by teamwork and collaboration.

The design jam format
(and some tips)
✓ Fill in an index card with your name, your top couple of skills,
and some things you’d like to learn about
✓ Divide into teams (we’ll help you)
✓ Pick a team leader and a speaker
✓ Define a specific problem for your team to work on
✓ No limits: sketches, storyboards, videos, models, role-play...
anything goes!
✓ Keep an eye on the time (but we’ll let you know, too)
✓ Consider using an “elevator pitch” to report at the end

Design challenge
For wheelchair users, travel can often
be a challenging experience.
Problems of technology,
communication, understanding and
physical design have the potential to
turn a simple trip into an expedition.
