A Better World By Design Returns to Providence Sept. 27

Entering its 6th year, A Better World By Design is returning to the RISD and Brown Campuses in Providence, RI Sept. 27-29 (the week after World Maker Faire New York). A Better World By Design was founded by–and is run to this day by–Brown and RISD students.

There’s plenty of great stuff on the 2013 conference schedule, but here are a few maker-centered events that the organizers shared with us:

• Lukas Winklerprins, a Brown Student and one of the leaders of the STEAM initiative at Brown and RISD will be leading a Lego Prototyping workshop.
• MAKEwithMOTO will be holding a three-part hackathon during the conference.
• Greg Nemes, a recent RISD graduate, will be hosting a physical computing workshop.
