🦆 Interaction Nerds by UXA
TGIF! This week: hear Stephanie's unique AMHCI experience. Also: check out Nancy's inspiring tips on networking in the HCI workspace.
👋 TGIF — The Week in Gifs
This week, we invited Nancy Zuo, our “homecoming” creative technologist, to share her unique gap semester experience & networking tips. 🕸️
Also, Stephanie Tseng, UXA co-founder, joined us to share her adventure with the Accelerated Masters in HCI program (AMHCI). 👑
We usually share a piece of work with insights from UX practitioners. However, our column lead Rebecca’s past week was filled with overflowing busyness & coursework, which meant less sensation & energy for content creation.🐕
To “embrace the constraint,” I prepared something for your unsatisfied curiosity: two entertaining gifs from my exclusive archive. I hope you enjoyed this week’s shorter but no less thought-provoking issue of IN. 🐈
— IN Editor, Bill Guo
✌️ The Spotlight — Nancy Zuo
During Carnival Week, we caught our "homecoming" hackathon queen, Nancy Zuo, to share her design experience with successful hackathon teams and experiences living with other design geeks during her gap semester. 💃🏻
If that wasn't enough, listen in on her excellent tips for networking in the HCI workspace and her passion for VR/AR & Game Design. 🎮
👍 The Inquiry — Demystify AMHCI Adventure with Stephanie
If you've been loyal to IN, you have collected most puzzle pieces that build up CMU HCII: undergrad programs, the MHCI program, and the Doctoral Program. But did you know that there is another program exclusive to CMU students with a major in HCI that gets them a chance to earn a master's degree in 8 months? ✨
To get you the most insights on this unique opportunity — We had a chat with Stephanie Tseng, our President of UXA, one of the two Accelerated Master Students at HCII. 🍬
🤌 The Supplements — An article a day keeps the doctors away
🤟 The End — Stay tuned and Dive IN
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
It isn’t charity to give away things you want to get rid of and it isn’t a sacrifice to do things you don’t mind doing.
