Let's Learn some Human-Centered Design!

Back in January, I found out about the +Acumen Course on Human-Centered Design through the XX+UX Google+ Group. I was extremely excited for this course for a number of reasons: 

1. I still aspire to learn the ways of UX/UI Design, and would like to learn things the right way. 
2. It's IDEO.org! It's a nonprofit born out of the super amazing IDEO. So why not learn from the best? 
3. I want to take on a project where I can actively participate in the community to bring about social change while becoming a better designer. 

I initially tried get a group together, but soon enough did I find how difficult it was to start a group where we would be working somewhat remotely, especially for an intensive course like this one. So that was the end of that.  

Then last month, a little message popped up in my inbox from the Hylo community over at Impact Hub Oakland. Someone announced that the course was starting up again soon and that she's looking for a group of people to take the course with:   

I finally have the opportunity to take this course with others again, and in a place I'm already familiar with! So of course, I jumped right on that thread, along with a few others. We'll be having our first meeting tomorrow and I can't wait! 

Stay tuned for updates from my journey into this course!
