Design It For Us Campus Tour: American University

Start: Wednesday, September 11, 2024 1:00 PM

End: Wednesday, September 11, 2024 2:30 PM

We’re the guinea pigs: the generation that grew up on social media. It’s had profound impacts on our lives, in positive and negative ways. Now it’s time to ask ourselves what’s working about our digital experiences and what isn’t. Design It For Us — a coalition of youth activists — is traveling the country on a campus tour to speak to and meet with college students. This tour will offer students the opportunity to address the human and shared experiences of growing up entirely on social media and create conversations in their college communities to think critically about these technologies and their lasting impact. Design It For Us will capture the momentum of the tour and build opportunities from these conversations for young people to join the growing movement of youth activists speaking about their lived experiences on social media.

In partnership with the American International Relations Society, AU’s Center for Security, Innovation, and New Technology, and Days For Girls AU!
