Projects

I think the easiest way to get to know the course is through the kinds of projects I typically ask students to do. You can find a sample of them below.

  Visit nearby transit stations to observe how users purchase tickets in context, then take your findings to make suggestions for how to improve the interface of the ticket machines.

• There’s an app for that!

  Design a single-function “utility” app based on open-ended generative research.
