The designer mediates between the technological and the everyday life and gives the technology a shape and meaning in order to make it accessible. The role of designers is to imagine, to use intuition, to establish it, to be critical and creative in order to allow a person to dictate the desired modes of interaction. For us, technology is a tool and expression of the accumulated knowledge of human society - and in the track we allow each student to engage with the materials that interests them, and encourage them to imagine and act to create change...
