Training five cosmonauts, (promotion of 2007)

by javier on 24/02/2007

This April I will go into a very special mission. I will train five young professionals in the arts and crafts of interaction and digital product design. My goal is to give them all I know, slowly and with care. My goal is to bring them all I wished when I started: someone experienced who guided me and helped me evolve as a professional.

When Aristotile was shown a book for the first time he said that the book would be the end of learning. As he said, if the student couldn’t discuss with the teacher then learning wouldn’t be possible.

He was probably exaggerating but not completely wrong.

Training fice designers, all the info

We will have sessions each friday evening. Three hours every week for five months, plus mentoring during the week and on summer vacation. All this just for five students (the good thing about 5+1 is that we can have our sessions almost anywhere: on our room, inside a cafeteria, walking at the park, on museums…). All the details on the course are here, in Spanish (use google translate if you can’t help reading it).

The course was made public a week ago and most of the seats are already taken. I am happy with how it’s been received. I will let you know the names of the five students in a few weeks.
