- DESIGNING WITH PURPOSE: A HANDS-ON JOURNEY OF UX DESIGN & CREATIVE AI - Middle School
-
Designing with Purpose: A Hands-On Journey of UX Design & Creative AI: Have you ever used an app that made you want to give up halfway? That kind of frustration is exactly what good User Experience (UX) Design works to prevent, by making technology simple, helpful, and human. In this hands-on STEM course, students will explore the world of UX design and discover how creativity and AI can come together to solve real problems. Students will begin by learning what makes good design “feel right.” Through fun activities, they’ll explore Don Norman’s seven fundamental design principles like visibility, feedback, affordance, and mapping and so on and see how these ideas make everyday apps easier to use. They’ll then choose a problem to solve, think deeply about who their users are, and design with empathy by creating user personas and sketching low-fidelity app screens. Next, they’ll bring their ideas to life using AI-assisted design tools such as Lovable, Uizard, or Canva Magic Design.

This course serves as an introduction to learning how to program using the Python programming language: one of the easiest and most popular programming languages used in real-world projects. What better way to make programming exciting for young learners than by building simple video games to stimulate learning while making it fun? In this course, to enhance the students' learning of programming, we will build simple computer games, from text-based role-playing games to 2-dimensional graphical video games, complete with animation, music, and sound effects! In this class, we will start from the basics, and then apply programming concepts learned in class to build a variety of simple games. We will also be using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance their creativity and skills.
Students will learn concepts that will be very useful for high-school level (and higher) computer science courses. They will learn concepts such as variables, operators, functions, objects, loops, lists, randomization operations, conditionals, events, and libraries. This course is designed for students without any programming experience and designed to be fun!
