Interaction, Innovation, and Impact Studio (Ix3) 1: Translational Research

6 units

Ix3 partners with researchers across campus seeking socially innovative and impactful digital products and design solutions. In Studio 1, Students form collaborative teams and partner with a resident expert from another discipline. Teams conduct extensive field and user research to determine appropriate user needs and propose translational design solutions to the resident experts' research questions. Alongside their research, students engage in various exercises, readings, workshops, and with guest speakers. The course culminates with a public presentation from each team, articulating their research and the scope of future design and development to be executed in Ix3 Studio 2.
