Hey again Product Classmates 🖐
Hope you all had a great first week and made some cool new friends at the socials! If you didn’t make them, no problem, you definitely will have time to chat people up in the Slack.
Last Week’s Recap:
Look at how creative you all are! We were so amazed at everyone’s design skills and we can’t wait to see what the future holds in store for all of us.
🖌 This Week’s Assignments
New App Features
Come up with 10 new features for your favorite app or an app that you frequently use. Brainstorm 10 new ideas for features this company might add to their product. Sketch those 10 ideas in low fidelity (just enough to communicate the idea).
Deliverable: Create 10 slides with one sentence and one visual describing each idea. Post these slides on your Notion site and be ready to discuss them in your next group meeting. (Groups will be decided soon! Look out for announcements here or on our Slack channel).
All directions for Week 2 can be found here. As always, if you’re lost, ask for help! We’re all here for you.

Ehsan believes that designers and technologists have a responsibility to shape the future of interfaces into something responsible. He will take a historical look at interfaces to build an understanding of how they allow us to utilize information in such powerful ways that they can fundamentally change what it means to be human.
