Assignments

• REQUIRED Blog post, due Wednesday 4/17: Finish your first interview and post the summary, transcript, and/or any other documentation of the interview. Use your group’s Human-Centered Plan and the abridged Field Guide to Human-Centered Design to guide you in this process.
• Blog post, due Wednesday 4/17: Please review NYU’s One Zone pages. We will have a two mini-Zone sessions: a Safe Zone and a Faith Zone which were chosen based on availability and gaps in your instructor’s own knowledge. These sessions will not be focused on technology, so please devise one or two questions that will help us to think about LGBTQ+tech and/or Faith+tech.
