From untangling proactivity with ADHD to building empathy with the inanimate nature around us, this year's Graduation Projects once again show the power of Interaction Design in tackling wicked challenges in an extensive range of themes.
You are invited to witness eleven educational design and research case studies, as our soon-to-be graduating designers present their inspiring nine-month journeys and outcomes.
