Industrial Design students Caleb Rancourt, Chris Kitchen, Claire Buttefield, Amanda Phung, Morgan Matt, and Stephanie Pekala have been working with DesignHouse this semester to help revitalize local manufacturing through design. Last night they helped host a DesignJam, a large community brainstorm, centered around a local sand-casting facility named Universal Electric Foundry. The foundry has slowly been losing business and now they have no work and are unsure what to do about it. DesignHouse will take the numerous ideas that came out of last night's jam and further ideate upon to hopefully #savethefoundry.
