About the course

The creation of prototypes, the expression of design ideas, or the visualisation of information and other technological skills are relevant not only for designers but contemporary professionals in various fields (designers, artists, architects, engineers amongst others).
In this course students are encouraged to engage with new technologies and recent development within the field of interaction design. The individual aim may be to further advance previous understanding of the field, explore new dimensions of it or to use such technologies in a new empirical setting.
The course offers an introduction to different techniques and tools through workshops and seminars and students may explore in-depth one or more technology/ies that interest them to work with.
Students will work in formulating their own personal project and learning goals and with the help of supervisors work towards the production of an exhibition piece/artifact and a ‘reflection in action document’.
