Today was the beginning of my final year studying Interaction Design at Ulster University. I know it is going to be a busy year as we start working on our 'major project'. This 'major project' is something you work on throughout the whole university year. It can be anything your heart desires so it's important that you're working on something that plays to your strengths, that you will enjoy and lastly find meaningful. In 3 weeks time we need to have 3 of our own ideas that could potentially become our 'major project' for the year. I have a couple of ideas in mind already which are based around the concept of tech for good.
To help with the ideation process for our major project we have to work on a small and short project in teams of 3 to get the ball rolling. I am in a team with Hope Mcilroy and Conor Agnew. This short project involves having to design a product, service or system based upon a Zeitgeist topic.
