The ISPARK Mobile Makerspace Initiative brings design tools and support directly into hospital intensive care units (ICUs) to empower frontline healthcare teams as innovators. Led by a cross-disciplinary team, this project aims to bridge the persistent gap between bedside challenges and medical innovation by providing mobile, accessible prototyping resources. Grounded in the theme “Designing Legacy: The Past, Present and Future of Industrial Design,” ISPARK reactivates the legacy of hands-on making while promoting inclusive, real-time design thinking in high-stakes environments. It demonstrates how democratized design can lead to meaningful, immediate improvements in patient care.

For 60 years, the Industrial Designers Society of America has worked to advance the practice of industrial design through education, information, community, and advocacy. Our roots stretch to the beginning of the profession, and our members are, and have been, some of the most celebrated industrial designers of all time. Today, we exist as a global voice for industrial design within a broad ecosystem of design disciplines and we celebrate the cross-functional overlap of many creative fields.
