About

MHCI @ CMU

This project is part of Master of Human-Computer Interaction (MHCI) program at Carnegie Mellon University.

The MHCI program is the world's first dedicated to preparing professionals for careers in human-computer interaction, user experience design, and user-centered research. Integrating service and design thinking into a rigorous HCI curriculum, it equips students to shape the future of human-technology interactions.

Since its first graduating class in 1997, the program has produced over 1,000 MHCI graduates. They now lead as user researchers, experience designers, product managers, entrepreneurs, business owners, and software developers. Most importantly, they drive technology's future in companies worldwide.

Meet the team

As user experience designers, we want to empower students to be the best versions of themselves

We are a diverse team of MHCI students. Over the course of this seven-month research project, we not only applied our professional expertise but also honed our UX skills. Each of us actively participated in research, synthesis, and design during our collaboration with South Fayette School District.
