Over the last 6 years I’ve had the delight of teaching a series of project courses at Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute. After guiding 400+ students through the research and design process, I’ve discovered how to sell and contract academic projects, build curriculum for “just-in-time” information sharing, and mentor interdisciplinary student teams. All in the effort to educate the next generation of Interaction Designers and produce industry standard products and services for large enterprises, nonprofits and local start-ups.
