Content description: The workshop is part of bigger module of School of Design (8 cp) .

Theme: GO! Supporting sporty lifestyle of kids by designing activating devices for their everyday life.

Methods: co-design principles, functional and intelligent material usage, soft tech prototyping, textile techniques and media related tools

Tools: documentation (video and still cameras for observations), textile studio techniques (sewing, rapid weaving), media tools (embedded sensors, soft user interfaces, electrical components). School of Design and Media Lab will provide students with basic 2-5 tools and materials for the prototyping. The tools and materials are restricted on purpose.

Co-designers: group of 15 kids and group of 15 designer students in collaboration

Aim of the workshop: aim is to learn how to use user centered co-design working method, design rough prototypes of future-orientated devices and to get familiar with seminar procedures.

Place: School of Design, Media Lab, elementary school environment (Tehtaankadun koulu, teacher Tuula Hirvonen)

Contact persons: Hannaliisa Hailahti, hannaliisa.hailahti@uiah.fi , Kirsti Lehtimäki kirsti.lehtimaki@uiah.fi, Marjo Mäenpää, marjo.maenpaa@uiah.fi

Supported core competences: Design skills, creative use of software, understanding how society and technology affect each other, understanding trans disciplinary and understanding digital design.

Course aims: To increase understanding in multimodal user centered design and knowledge how to develop ideas that combine textile design, multimodal information technology, interaction design and further how to commercialize innovations. In second place the workshop will give abilities to work in multidisciplinary groups, to increase understanding of innovative processes.

Learning outcomes: Outcomes are scenarios about intelligent, functional, user friendly textile applications and products. The ideas and scenarios might work as basis of coming final thesis projects
