DSRP Students Engage in Transdisciplinary Project with Parsons School of Design

Dalton Science Research Program juniors and seniors gathered together with two professors and a group of graduate student designers from Parsons School of Design in the first of three meetings that will span the first semester. Through a lens of social justice, Parsons and Dalton students are collaborating and drawing from many disciplines to develop accessible, accurate and easy-to-use sensors for measuring indoor and outdoor air quality in underprivileged neighborhoods. The team is engaged in the process of Transdisciplinary learning, which prepares students for a future where they will need to work collaboratively to harness the knowledge and expertise of many disciplines to solve real-world problems.
