Interactive design for web, apps, and experimental interfaces is a new and exciting area of study. We explore the visual aspects, coding details, and the larger social envelope of design and making both in hands-on labs and various distributed settings. Through classes at UK, you will not only gain the technical chops to design software solutions, but also context for the social responsibility that comes with bringing technological solutions into the world.
