Magic and Design Hackathon: Reducing Children’s Anxiety in Healthcare Settings
Curry Student Center Senate Chambers
1 – 6 PM
In collaboration with Jeanette Andrews and the Magic & Medicine Lab, Eugene Buff and Health Sciences Entrepreneurs, Miso Kim, Michael Arnold Mages, Stephen Wood and the Bouvé College of Health Sciences.
At the intersection of creativity and problem-solving, design empowers us to tackle complex issues in innovative ways. This year, we’re taking a design-centered approach to a challenge that impacts families everywhere: reducing children’s anxiety in healthcare settings.
Calling all innovators! We invite you to join our hackathon, where participants will collaborate to reimagine tools, technologies, and approaches that transform stressful medical visits into moments of comfort and empowerment for kids. Throughout the day, your ideas will take shape through brainstorming and hands-on work sessions, culminating in final presentations where teams will showcase their solutions.
From playful designs for intimidating devices to personalized tools for unique fears, let’s create ideas that truly make a difference.
