Introduction to the Interaction Design major at the European School of Design
The Master of Arts in Interaction Design - Crafting the Experiences of the Future will develop future leaders in digital products and technologies, equipped with the collaborative skills, critical thinking, and technical competencies needed to solve complex problems, and bring about positive change on social, cultural, environmental, and economic levels.
Through 4 main design workshops and experimental approaches, the program offers an approach that is deeply rooted in practice, while also being linked to industry to make the most of Turin and its industrial and technological heritage.
The combination of technologies and humanities such as user experience, ethnographic studies, generative AI, digital sociology, creative coding, etc., will enable designers who can respond to and adapt to the impact of digital transformation to emerge, promoting technology as a strategic asset for design.
In terms of course content, Alice Mela is in charge. Alice Mela has been an active member of the FabLab community, having collaborated with FabLab Dahahran on several occasions and currently serves as Vice President of FabLab Torino. She has always been committed to designing interactive experiences for products, museums, exhibitions, spaces and events, with a special focus on user-centered design and user experience, so there is a lot of learning involved in this course.
