Dong-A University Department of Industrial Design Conducts 'High School Summer School'

The Department of Industrial Design at Dong-A University College of Design and Environment held a 'High School Summer School' for high school students in the Busan area.

Recently, the Department of Industrial Design at Dong-A University was selected for the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education's '2023 Diverse Campus/High School Summer School Courses' and operated the 'Product and Space Design Process Experience' program.

The program is an activity where high school students interested in design understand the concept of design and experience various idea generation processes to become product and space designers.

The program, held at the 'Creative Oasis Platform' within the Industrial Design Department at Dong-A University's Seunghak Campus, was attended by about 10 first- and second-year high school students from the Busan area.

The participating high school students, under the guidance of Professor Han Hyun-seok, master's student Lee Seong-bin from the Department of Formative Design, and student Kim Yoon-ji, engaged in activities including understanding design concepts, identifying problems through observation, ideation, prototyping, and scenario creation.

A student who participated in the program said, "I learned what design is and gained confidence in expressing ideas," adding, "This program helped me learn and understand more about design, which was very beneficial."

Professor Han Hyun-seok said, "Since the design process is decided by collecting opinions from many users, the participants likely experienced that forming teams, communicating smoothly, and reflecting diverse opinions can lead to better ideas."

He continued, "Starting with this program, the Department of Industrial Design at Dong-A University plans to expand design education and experience programs for local high school students during the vacation period."
