*Class description*

*Culture Hacking*: This 3-week (August 20-September 7) seminar/workshop
explores our learning and team cultures. It will be highly experiential,
practicing techniques that are known to help create and maintain great
teams. It will be project-based, as you explore and co-create wild and
creative ideas about how our learning and team cultures could be
dramatically better for students, employers and society. We will have a
dedicated room, so we have a creative collaborative space where we can post
materials on the walls, leave work in progress on the tables, etc. We will
have both a lower level course (CUSP 131) and an upper-level course (CSS
390) that meet at the same time in the same room, in order to get a greater
diversity of perspectives.****
