IDEO Workshop: People as a Source of Inspiration
Teachers
Dario Buzzini & Martin Meier – IDEO (www.ideo.com)
Gerhard Buurman & Karmen Franinovic – IAD, ZHdK (http://iad.zhdk.ch)
Participants
BA and MA Interaction Design Students
Aims
The objective of the suggested workshop is to get the interaction design students to be exposed to the methods and techniques of User Centered Design. Through a series of activities, the students will learn how to see and understand people as a source of inspiration rather than validation in order to inform solutions that address people’s needs.
Goals
We are looking for a tangible series of outcomes. During the two days you will be asked to deliver and present a series of iterations on your ideas. A variety of media and embodiments is welcome and encouraged (think objects, storyboards, videos, raw prototypes, etc.). All the reviews during the two days will be in an informal manner. No formal presentation is required. The groups will have 15 minutes at the end of the second day to present the final results of their work.
