Students Participate in Design Expo
Sat, 05/17/2008 - 05:01 — Gabriel |
In the first semester of 2008, a group of Srishti students were brought together to participate in the Microsoft Research-sponsored Design Expo. Two groups were formed from students whose interests and grade levels varied. The projects took place with coordination and oversight from the Center for Education, Research, Training and Development (CERTAD) and the Center for Experimental Media Arts (CEMA).
The students were given a design brief that consisted of two challenges: one consisting of Srishti's existing commitments to cultural, educational, artistic,and design-based engagements with society, and another consisting of a more general challenge to design a user interface and/or interactive experience around the theme of learning and education. They were asked to develop a project that synthesized these challenges into one unique approach that incorporated the concerns, commitments, and constraints that were implicitly and explicitly embedded in the issues raised. At the conclusion of the workshop, one team will be selected to present their work at the Microsoft Faculty Summit in Redmond, WA in July, 2008. |
