In this multidisciplinary course, students will work collaboratively to research, design, and develop a system of client-centered data-management, musical interfaces and interactive learning tools for the Beat Rocker beat boxing program at the Lavelle School for the Blind.
The Beat Rocker Program incorporates a unique beat -boxing/speech therapy curriculum and children that are engaged in the program excel in both areas. Students in the class are expected to gain practical experience in user research/testing, human-centered design and the prototyping process.
The class will be split into three sections: 1) Client/User Research, 2) Design and
Prototyping 3) Testing
