Design Science Lab 2007
The 2007 Design Science Lab focused on developing technologically practical, economically viable, and culturally appropriate real-world solutions to global and local poverty. It did this in the context of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, a set of eight ambitious, but attainable goals, established and ratified in 2000 by 189 heads of state at the UN. The 2007 Design Science Lab focused on Millennium Development Goal #1 reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day.

Poverty is part of a global, whole system that involves education, food, health, environment, employment, government, civil society, and private sector policy and action at the local, national, and international levels, and a host of other interwoven problems, issues and support systems. As part of their designs to deal with global poverty, Lab participants will draw from all of these fields and examine the problem through a global frame.
