Amy Banzaertis an instructor and researcher at D-Lab, a program at the MassachuÂsetts Institute of Technology to develop, design and implement technology-based solutions throughout the developing world. All D-Lab projects are based on the same values and principles of providing experiential learning, using technology to address poverty, building the local creative capacity, promoting local innovation, valuing indigenous knowledge, fostering participatory development and co-creation, and building sustainable organizations and partnerships.

MIT's D-Lab: Development through Design, Development & Dissemination
D-Lab is a program at MIT that fosters the development of appropriate technologies and sustainable solutions within the framework of international development. D-Lab’s mission is to improve the quality of life of low-income households through the creation and implementation of low cost technologies. D-Lab’s portfolio of technologies also serves as an educational vehicle that allows students to gain an optimistic and practical understanding of their roles in alleviating poverty. Ms. Banzaert will use an example-based presentation to discuss the experiences students have in D-Lab, the projects that are worked on and research conducted, and the community impact.
