Hampshire College

Students at Lemelson pursue work in a variety of fields, including appropriate technology; art and design; entrepreneurship; and assistive technology and universal design. Using our fabrication shop; electronics lab; blacksmithing and welding shop; and design facilities, the Lemelson Center for Design can help students realize nearly any project they can envision. Below are examples of projects that students have created using the LCD.

	Appropriate Technology Economical, simple, sustainable, and universal solutions to design problems in communities across the globe.
	Art and Design Students work primarily with glass, plastic, metal, electronics, and fabric to explore the intersections between art and technology.
	Assistive Technology and Universal Design Broad spectrum and individualized approaches to designing more accessible and inclusive products and environments.
	Entrepreneurship The Lemelson Center has helped several business enterprises navigate the turbulent waters of creating a nonprofit or socially responsible business.
