The Design Science Lab develops solutions to global and local problems. It does this through a design and planning methodology often referred to as design science. This methodology is inspired by the work of Buckminster Fuller, the late 20th century inventor, philosopher, and designer.

The Lab is a collaborative effort of a number of
organizations. Its primary participants are high school and college students, young professionals, and experts in various global and local problems. Its primary aim is the development of strategies for reaching the UN Millennium Development Goals. We welcome your participation.
