Human Centered Service Design (In Person) | Minneapolis College of Art and Design

Human Centered Service Design (In Person)

Become practiced in tying together human, digital, and physical interactions to create differentiated and unique environments for people participating in an experience.

Course description

Service design experiences such as art exhibitions, touristic and recreational activities, medical interventions, or human-technology interfaces of various kinds (AR/VR) can all contribute to human centered design. At the core of this class is the science behind how people react to, enjoy, or reject certain experiences that require interactions with other human beings, technology, or nature. Delivering great experiences and services can be challenging, but design thinking can help you understand people's needs, look at interactions between people, and constantly iterate your way forward to create more unique and immersive experiences. Service is where your project meets the world. Learn to design moments that people will remember and value. / This course is part of the Creative Entrepreneurship undergraduate major. Participants in this course will include undergraduate students. / Please note that this course does not qualify for the $25 alumni tuition rate.

Open to students ages 18 and above. View complete policies including class cancellation policies, before completing your registration.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
