Interactionary
Last year GSK won the professional and all-around competitions, and NC State won the student competition. This year we’re trying something a little different. Mixed teams of students and practitioners will compete head-to-head in a live design competition.
Simply put, the Interactionary is a live team-based design competition. Teams are given a design problem and 10-20 minutes to design a solution to the problem. Teams then present their design to the audience, and the judges.
Teams are free (and encouraged) to interact with the audience in order to perform design research and user testing.
