This conversation is an invitation to discover the masterclass “Introduction to design” by Annie Ferlatte, Strategic Ecodesign Coordinator and Fab Academy and Fabricademy Instructor.

Product design is the process of creating and developing a product by taking both functional and aesthetic aspects into account. It combines art and science to answer consumers’ needs while incorporating technical, economic and ergonomic constraints. Product design includes physical products but also digital products such as mobile apps, websites or softwares.

After viewing the masterclass, the managers of the project, Marie-Chantale Dion and Aurélie Nguyen, will lead a conversation to enrich the impact of this initiative.

The project « Careers of Tomorrow inspired by the Fab Lab » is the fruit of a collaboration between the First Nations and Inuit Labour Market Advisory Committee and Communautique, with the support of the First Nations Education Council Educational Services and the Tshakapesh Institute. The project is supported by the ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie through the NovaScience program.
