Foad Hamidi, Digital Design for Social Good @ Ibero

Lassonde School of Engineering and Computer Science
York University, Toronto

+ There's a difference between Interaction Design and Digital Design, the second one involves more design thinking and less UI.

Reflection:

"There's nothing more practical than a good theory", Kurt Lewin

Value-Sensitive Design:

Whose value is it anyway?

Action:

"The method is the message", Paul Grosswiler

Maker Faire

Where invention, people working together, sharing things takes place. Also subversion in terms of questioning things or hierarchies.

HANDMADE REVOLUTION

+ Inclusion is case by case by case

+ Creating individual objects

+ Diversity is important
