PSYC 15 Impact Design
This innovative, team-based, project course is about impact--what it is, how you experience it, how you create it, how you measure it. We focus on designing products and experiences for community partners as part of the Social Impact Practicum program. Rather than looking at how we can solve a problem, we look at how we can create delight for users. Students will learn how to combine core principles from human psychology with the tools of design to create products and user experiences that promote engagement, adoption, and learning. Past community partners have included the Hartford Autism Regional Program (HARP) and the Aging Resource Center.
