Inclusive Design

Inclusive Design is a powerful catalyst for innovation, transforming the way we approach problem-solving and creativity. By prioritizing diversity and broad usability from the outset, inclusive design not only addresses the needs of diverse user groups but also opens the door to solutions that benefit everyone.

This course introduces students to the essentials of inclusive design, focusing on creating products, and services that are accessible and beneficial to all users.

Students will engage in practical exercises, and by the end of the course, will be equipped with the skills to design solutions that address the needs of diverse populations and promote equity and inclusion in various contexts.
