Program Description
While technological solutions dominate our world today, peoples lives are full of sounds, sensors, textures, spaces, other people, smells, chaos, dreams, surprises, motors, jokes, and more. And we can use all of these as materials to design experiences — to affect people's emotions, behaviours, and even lives.
So, in this course, you'll learn how to build experience-prototypes using anything— yes, anything!—you find in the world around you.
The course will be run at the National Institute of Design (NID) in India, and Purdue students will work with about 15 graduate students from the 'New Media Design' programme there. (Have a look at their work here.) You can read about previous versions of this course on this webpage, and view some images from it below:
You will experience different sights, sounds, smells, tastes, materials, people, lifestyles, markets, museums, and likely some annoying peacocks. This is, after all, India. You will likely live, eat, and play with students on the host institute's campus, and this course will equip you to work anywhere the world, with anyone, as part of international teams in global companies.
