One more thing: we're offering up a $50 gift certificate as part of Greenpointers' Sandy relief raffle. There are about a million and one awesome prizes, so be sure to get your ticket as soon as you can.

Design Gym Weekend Intensive
Design Gym is back for another weekend, teaching you how to use the design process to solve all sorts of real-world problems. You'll kick things off on Friday night with warm ups, and finish up on Sunday by working with a real client. Along the way, you'll pick up lots of tips and tricks for research, idea-generation, presentations, and way more.

Business and Pleasure
This Saturday, we're mixing things up. Spend the afternoon learning two very different skills: how to be a connector and candy-making, then spend some time afterward getting to know all your classmates.
