While the concept of appropriate technology has existed for decades, the role human-centered design plays in development has only recently began to be addressed. Good technologies embrace good design.  However, how do we design for a user who’s culture is so far from our own?  How can we anticipate and determine the values of our users?   Catapult hosts design workshops that focus on our approach to product design for developing countries, the principles of human-centered design, and our own successes and failures with project work.  Workshops are organized for conferences and other large-group settings and include half-day instruction and hands-on project work with our team of designers.  If you’re interested in hosting a Catapult Workshop, contact info[at]catapultdesign[dot]org for price and availability.
