Design Strategies for Empowering Children in Challenging Scenarios

Bruno Oro, assistant professor, industrial design

Design plays a crucial role in aiding users during challenging situations. In his ongoing research, Bruno Oro, who joined the industrial design faculty in August 2023, explores two distinct avenues for assisting children: one involves investigating the relationship between design thinking and children, while the other focuses on leveraging industrial design to provide support for children with disabilities.
