Many products and services requires interactions today and it has been a big challenge for designers in how to sketch ideas. Sketching on paper will not describe your idea any more as you need to illustrate experiences. This course teaches you various techniques of how you can sketch experiences by making functional prototypes. The prototype can be from wearable objects to installations. The course will provide easy-to-use and quick-to-make tools and materials. You will form groups and develop ideas based on a given theme. The groups iterate their designs through prototyping. The final prototype should be presented at Media Lab Demoday in May.

You can find student work in previous years as follows.
