Last fall, prominent interaction designer Kim Goodwin spoke to an eager audience of new students at the School of Visual Arts about the importance of education in preparing new practitioners to join the growing and still maturing field of Interaction Design.
We were inspired to take action. We've spent the last year researching education, interviewing teachers and students, and exploring a program that we could bring to New York City students.
Project: Interaction is our response to Kim's call to help grow our practice through education. Our program will introduce high school students to interaction design and show them how they can use design to change their communities.
I heard about this from Vitorio Miliano. Nice project.
Congratulations! So happy to see your project take off! I am so happy for you two AND all of the young women you are working with! Just awesome!
Congratulations! Looking forward to learning how the project grows.
