Upcoming Speaking: Hong Kong and Dublin
We're taking Project: Interaction worldwide this fall and winter, heading to Hong Kong for the International Conference on Interaction Design in November and to Dublin in February for Interaction12.
Carmen and I are both excited to speaking on the topic of design education in schools.
In Hong Kong we’ll be presenting our paper called New Methods: Framing an Interaction Design Class to Play a Complementary Role in Core Curriculum, where we’ll discuss the importance of interaction design as a complement to STEM initiatives. We believe that with a rounded education, students will become more effective thinkers and innovators.
In Dublin we’ll be giving a 45-minute talk called People ARE Software: The Story of Project: Interaction. We’ll be speaking about the patterns we observe in how students learn to design, and how that learning cycle compares to the learning patterns we expect of our users.
I can’t wait to share more details as we get them!
