Where

Not a physical place

The feed that carries this event publishes a title and a date and no location. The event is real and is held; we simply do not know where it happens, which is a different thing from it happening nowhere.

Tickets

No on-sale date recorded

This event came from a public calendar feed. Calendar feeds publish when a show happens, not when its tickets go on sale — so this is genuinely unknown rather than zero, and rather than “already on sale”.

Complimentary light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.   5:00 p.m. Doors Open 5:30-6:30 p.m. Ram Talks Description: A great pair of shoes can take you almost anywhere, but what happens when the shoes available weren’t designed with your body or needs in mind? As part of CSU’s Snow Days celebration, this Ram Talk explores how the products we wear can shape independence, participation, and access to experiences, from everyday life to outdoor adventure. Join CSU researchers Kristen Morris and Lida Aflatoony for an interactive exploration of inclusive design and how designers can rethink everyday products to work for more people. Through hands-on examples, prototypes, materials, and design activities, you’ll experience the process firsthand and consider a deceptively simple question: Who are we designing for—and who might we be leaving out?  Come ready to look at shoes and design a little differently and imagine what becomes possible when more people are designed into the products and experiences around us.
