MHCI+D INNOVATION

Innovation is the heartbeat of Community.

Each year, students at MHCI+D come together from all over the globe, with different areas of expertise to create a vibrant, collaborative learning environment where ideas and creativity flourish. Through dynamic classes, hands-on projects, and both individual and team-based assignments, students build meaningful connections with peers, faculty, and industry professionals. This sense of community extends beyond academics, fostering a culture of mutual support and shared growth. Industry field trips, guest lectures, and alumni mentorship opportunities further deepen these connections, enabling students to build strong, lasting relationships that continue to thrive even after graduation.
Outside the classroom, the program’s community is enriched by co-curricular and student life activities that encourage both personal and professional development. From holiday parties to hackathons students have numerous opportunities to build both skills and supportive relationships and to celebrate their hard work.
The program values inclusivity and diversity, ensuring that every student feels welcomed and is empowered to contribute. This dynamic, supportive environment not only enhances learning but also helps students develop the teamwork and interpersonal skills essential for success in the field of human-computer interaction and design.
