This live panel is a lively discussion about the intersection of fast fashion, energy, and the environment. Although most people do not typically associate the fashion industry with STEM or science policy, fashion and science are intricately tied to one another due to the detrimental effects the fast fashion industry has on the environment and public health. Not only does the fashion industry generate >92 million tonnes of textile waste and contribute to 10% of global CO2 emissions per year, the chemicals and heavy metals used in the dyeing process are also toxic to humans and aquatic life. We invite experts to discuss about the latest challenges and solutions to technology involved in sustainable manufacturing practices, sustainable fashion design methods such as 3D printing of apparel, and regenerative/circular business models that can be implemented in the fashion industry. Audience members will have the chance to ask questions to the panelists. FREE Food (from Up Thai) and drinks will be provided.

Many of the world’s leading universities, hospitals, governments, museums, and companies are integrating Design Thinking or design thinking mindsets into their work in order to streamline processes, develop innovative solutions to complex problems, or create a more supportive culture within their institutions. What is Design Thinking? Why is it being adopted by so many entities throughout the world? What is the relationship between Design Thinking and innovation? How can you integrate Design Thinking into your daily life? These are just a few of the questions that will be addressed. Our speaker, Dr. Joann Halpern, will provide examples of Design Thinking in action in order to help participants understand the process, its innovative potential, and its relevance to their particular situations.
