Group Pitches Due next Tuesday
Your group project pitches are due next Tuesday in class. Each group will have 5 minutes (max) to describe:
- Your prospective Users, and how you plan to access them
- Their Needs, and the Design Opportunity that results
- Any external partners
- Team member introductions
- Your name and background
- What skills you bring
Team sizes of 4-5 are preferred. At least 4 students must already be registered for the class. If you want to join a group, or need more members for your group, please speak up in class and/or use the course mailing list.

First Assignment
Yes, already, but its short and hopefully interesting. If you have an idea that you would like to pursue in the course, be prepared to make a short “pitch” to recruit other students in class on Tuesday August 28th. Your pitch should be short – about 2-3 minutes, laying out as best you can 1) who your user is, 2) what their pressing need is, 3) why this is an opportunity and 4) any partners or users you already have lined up. Preferably you can do this without Powerpoint, but if you need it, it will be there. Please use this Google spreadsheet to coordinate the group formation process.
