Would you like improve the sustainability of our world?

Are you passionate about user centered design, graphic design, industrial/product design, engineering, human factors and/or psychology?

If so, then you should participate in our TriUPA World Usability Day design competition!

Participants will tackle a design issue where user centered design and usability is central to the success of a solution that drives sustainability.

Sounds great! What do I need to do?

1) Sign up to participate by September 23, 2009.

2) Attend an Information Session.

You don’t have to attend this session to participate in the challenge, but if you have questions or would like more information, please join us on September 17th (Thursday) at 6pm at Capstrat (1201 Edwards Mill Road, First Floor Raleigh, NC 27607).

3) Pick a topic from our list of suggestions, or create your own!

4) Present your design ideas, findings and solutions.

Participants are invited to share their solutions during our World Usability Day event to be held November 12th from 6:00 - 9:00PM, at the SAS Auditorium. Presentations need not be formal and can be a poster, informal oral presentation or PowerPoint format. All participants should plan a presentation around 7 - 10 minutes.
