With little time left until our tour at Google, Griff brought us to one last Apple building, the surfboard, a short distance from the Park. The visitor center provided shopping, an augmented reality display of the park next door, and a sight of the enormous ring-shaped facility. Together we had a meaningful talk about life, careers, and what the EDI fellows have been working on this past year.Īt Tom’s recommendation, our group traveled with Griff over to Apple Park, their newest campus. Following a short visit through the campus featuring modern-architecture, we sat down to eat at Apple’s cafe and were joined by Tom, Griff’s coworker. We then traveled to Apple’s old campus, the Infinite Loop, and met with Griff Derryberry who gave us a tour. During a period of both personal and group reflection, we connected what we read with what we have seen in California so far. We discussed our summer reading book, The Ten Faces of Innovation, by Tom Kelley. Today the fellows gathered at 8 AM to debrief the activities of the previous day over breakfast.

Here is Kevin Smedley to describe our fifth day. The 2019 EDI Fellows traveled to Silicon Valley to speak with experts about engineering, design, and innovation.
