EM.S21 Digital Lamp: Design/Make/Illuminate
Design, prototype, and build a lamp (or other household product) using a variety of techniques, machines, and materials. Build a circuit with LEDs, sensors, and an Arduino microcontroller. Learn to sketch, use CAD, work with wood and metal, cast plastic parts, 3D print, and laser cut.
EM.S22 – UX Research, Design, and Innovation
A deep dive into the entire human-centered design process from user research through prototype that will help you uncover what people need and develop creative solutions to meet those needs. Apply user experience design principles to mock up a digital product and use business methods to formulate a business model and go-to-market strategy.
Enrollment is limited – APPLY NOW. Class registration via MIT WEBSIS is still required.
