Educating Students in the Application of Technology to Everyday Life

The Interaction Design Pilot Year is a joint collaboration between Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) and the Danish Design School (DKDS). Our aim is for students, faculty and staff to work together in a multi-cultural, multidisciplinary studio environment to co-create a new kind of education that is relevant for academia and industry.

After a rigorous selection process, 21 students from all around the world have been chosen to participate in a full-time, experimental version of a future Masters course in interaction design.

The Interaction Design Pilot Year is a full-time intense curriculum that includes a number of skills-based modules (such as video prototyping and computational design), followed by in-depth investigations in to graphical/tangible interfaces and service design.

The Enterprise and Construction Authority (EBST), the Danish Ministry of Culture , Novo Nordisk and the JL Foundation have awarded financial funding for the planning and implementation of this pilot year.

We hope that many interesting projects will come in to fruition throughout the inaugural year and that by working together we will create a centre for excellence in design, technology and innovation.
