Interaction Design Education Summit

The Interaction Design Education Summit (EduSummit) seeks to better understand the global problem space of interaction design education in both formal and informal formats. The EduSummit precedes Interaction as a day of talks, workshops, and collaborations, bringing together anyone interested in the current and future states of interaction design education.

The EduSummit emerged naturally from the interests and backgrounds of many who attended Interaction from 2008–2012.

At almost every Interaction conference, a group of individuals met at some sort of lunch break or other off time to discuss interaction design education. 

Beginning with Interaction 13, we began to formalize this gathering and crafted a full day of workshop about the various issues facing interaction design education in all relevant contexts.

The goals of the EduSummit are to better understand the global problem space of interaction design education both in formal and informal formats. Academics, mentors, conference speakers, continuing education creators, students, practitioners and employers lend their voices each year.
