REPORT

Hello!

I’m Nicole Chan, Faculty Lead of the Interaction Design Bachelor Program.

A major strength of the SMC IxD program has been the student based cohort model. Each Fall a new group of students come together to begin a two year journey through the IxD program. In the beginning students know little about each other, the faculty, or the staff. Slowly, over time, a community takes shape. From each cohort emerges a unique personality based on shared values. 

These communities don't form spontaneously. There is an intentionality, aided by a supporting structure to help grow connections. The program hosts kick-off events, workshops, and promotes teamwork in classes. All of this is meant to aid in building a solid collaborative base. Last year, when the world went into lockdown I became concerned. A program of people focused on creating meaningful connections between humans, technology, and design were suddenly staring at each other on screens unsure of how to move forward.

My initial unease turned into hope as I observed our students' interactions evolve. Creative fun and play was expressed through weekly virtual movie nights.

Students initiated Zoom coffee chats between Juniors and Seniors, to talk about work and more importantly to check in on one another. I observed genuine kindness and patience between teammates during class projects. Students made time and space for each other to care for themselves, friends, and family. There was also a continual ability for students to ask for help and communicate their true needs. There were and are deeply personal challenges, and students continued to really see and hear each other, and let each other know they weren’t alone.

Lockdown did not stifle the IxD community. These students explored different ways to work together during classes, used new tools to connect with each other, and to build their relationships and support systems. Most important of all, they used the wisdom of their feelings to guide them in redefining the values of their community during this difficult time. I have deep gratitude for their example. It brings me hope to observe and work with these designers who prioritize the values of kindness, patience, and self-care. The Class of 2021 are the future designers and leaders that are tasked with the hard work of creating a more compassionate and inclusive world for all of us. I can say with confidence, they are ready.

(by Aaron Guhin, Armel Patanian)

The pandemic dramatically increased food insecurity among vulnerable communities. Loss of employment and income increased demand for charitable meal delivery, while the closure of in-person schools and daycares cut children off from a once-reliable food source. In a two-week design sprint involving teams from 10+ design schools, Adobe posed a challenge: Design a mobile phone app that empowers a specific audience to help improve part of the chain of food collection and distribution. Two SMC teams earned spots in the top 10 (among 35 designs) in this highly competitive, nationwide contest.

Students in Project Management were given the monumental task: “How might we design a new civilization?” This new civilization was to take place on a fictional island, MS-Dos Island, created specifically for this class by NASA scientist Ian Fenty.

Student students then presented their solutions to Ian as well as project management guru Geoff Moore (Begin) for review.
