Simon Fraser University is seeking professionals in new media design and

marketing who would be willing to provide advice to student teams working on

4th-year projects in the School of Interactive Art and Design.  Over two

semesters students build on the skills and knowledge gained in their

previous studies to design and implement an interactive technology product

or experience.  The students work in interdisciplinary teams which mix

varying strengths in information design, graphics, animation, game design,

storytelling, user design, tangible interfaces, project management, and

informatics.  Design projects are iterated through concept, prototype,

implementation, and user testing throughout the two-semester period.  A full

course outline can be viewed at the school’s website:

By mentoring a team, professionals and their companies gain an opportunity

to build relationships with a group of highly talented young people.

To register your interest in becoming a mentor, or to get more information,

please contact Professor Thecla Schiphorst, thecla [at] sfu [dot] ca.
