Our week started with a wonderful guest lecture from Professor Lorie Loeb, in which she introduced UX/UI to students and shared some of her own “rules for good design.” The students were engaged and we were delighted to have her in class!
Wednesday’s x-hour was the beginning of a new (kind of last minute) but surprisingly successful initiative, in which we brought Tuck students as individual coaches for each team. This effort was organized thanks to the amazing Daniella Reichstetter, and it was a fantastic experience! Each Tuck student got matched to one project, and both graduate and undergraduate students stayed engaged through the full x-hour period. Definitely something we’ll be doing again and organizing more next year!
Finally, on Thursday we primarily had a work session for students to prep for their ideas presentation the following week – not without first giving them a brief “presentation tips” lecture with some of Eugenes top aesthetic design suggestions.
