Course Overview

Programming is certainly an important hard skill, but if you want an app to be truly successful, the overall user experience (UX) and interface (UI) design are even more important. This course aims to allow students to learn to design user experience (UX) and draw interface (UI) from the user's perspective, and integrate these elements into an interactive prototype. Through this course, students will be able to have a deeper exploration of careers and development directions. This course will use Figma as the main design tool.
