Course aims
The purpose of the capstone project is to support the development of generic competencies and teamwork skills through solving an interdisciplinary problem in a team.
Course provides opportunities to implement and develop previously achieved knowledge and skills (in the framework of more theoretical courses) in practical settings.

Brief description of the course
Students form small teams (preferably from students from at least three different academic fields) and execute small projects aimed at solving an interdisciplinary problem. Teams report periodically the results of the project.
Student are able to:
- acquired experience to apply knowledge and skills, communicate with client and in team working;
- participate in software development team in different roles;
- acquired skills for successful teamwork, effective communication and workflow;
- acquired skills for developing different software development products;
- implement small-scale development project.

Learning outcomes in the course
Upon completing the course the student:
- applies advanced interaction design methods to frame, plan, and solve complex design problems in a project context;
- designs, conducts field research, prototypes, and iteratively evaluates digital systems, integrating needs analysis outcomes, usability, accessibility, aesthetics, ethics, trust, and sustainability principles;
- collaborates effectively in interdisciplinary and remote teams to deliver an integrated interaction design project, developing teamwork and leadership skills;
- operates under ambiguity, limited information, and time constraints to develop and justify creative, evidence-based design solutions and communicate these efficiently and to diverse audiences.
