About Us
Our community at Georgia Tech excels at solving technically complex problems. As Design Bloc, we go a step further to help our world-class problem solvers become thoughtful problem framers: leaders who can step back, reimagine the problem, understand their users’ points of view, and direct their efforts toward an optimal solution.
Our Approach: Design Behaviors
We practice five behaviors to tackle open-ended problems.
Contextual awareness, entrepreneurial sustainability, rapid iteration, empathy, and creative craft are frames of mind that keep us grounded in the real-world context of our projects and drive us to understand multiple stakeholders' needs before pursuing a solution.
We lead workshops, teach classes, and work with community and industry partners to help everyone tackle their own open-ended problems using design behaviors.
What We Do
We provide opportunities for Georgia Tech students, faculty, staff, and members of our surrounding communities and industries. Through our intensive workshops, hands-on classes, and partnerships with organizations and our growing community, we provide participants with firsthand experience in problem-framing techniques that they can apply to their specific field of expertise.
