Project : Interaction is a ten week after school program that teaches high schoolers to change their communities using design. This weekend at the Better World by Design conference I met and got to hang out a bit with Katie and Carmen who are the ones behind the project, really nice and awesome people! I just supported them on Kickstarter, if you can give them a hand.

Using New York City as a catalyst for creative thought and exploration, we will challenge students to approach problems using a variety of design methods. Students will be encouraged to tackle issues that matter to them with the prospect of creating viable solutions. During class students will learn valuable skills in storytelling, communication, creative thinking and problem solving while being exposed to interaction design as a potential career opportunity.
