Open innovation and peer production are technology paradigms changing how we develop, launch and scale new businesses, products and services in the 21st-century. Open platform models for internet-enabled collaboration — pioneered in open-source software and online wiki communities — are now transforming how people coordinate across time and space to design and make physical and digital things.
EDSGN397 «Open Design & Manufacturing» is a project-based course that presents open innovation and open source frameworks in software, hardware and machine design, design for open manufacturing, commons-based peer production, and how to leverage makerspace platforms to build future-oriented entrepreneurship ecosystems.
