As we've done often in the past\, Portland Comm unity Design Thinkers will be hosting a special meetup on Jan. 16 to hel p facilitate the creation of teams for all members who wish to join the course. \;\n \;\nCreated by IDEO.org for those who are relatively new to design thinking\, +Acumen's free Design Kit: Course for Human-Cen tered Design is probably one of the best and most immersive resources an ywhere for getting up to speed on the nuts and bolts of HCD. This meetup is specifically for those interested in learning more about the course and helping to form working teams. Please note PCDT is *not* managing th is course -- you'll be on your own for that. But we're keen to give anyo ne interested a leg up in getting off to the best possible start with a group of other eager local participants\, and participants are welcome t o use our own Slack channel for course communication and organizing\, as many groups have previously done. \;\n \;\nRead more about the co urse at the below link. \;\n \;\nIn brief\, it's a nine-week onlin e FREE curriculum that will introduce participants to the concepts of hu man-centered design and how this approach can be used to create innovati ve\, effective\, and sustainable solutions. \;\nDuring those nine wee ks\, you'll work online (and off) with a group of 2-6 people\, learning the HCD process by applying it to one of three pre-crafted real world de sign challenges. (You'll also have a choice to craft your own challenge. ) Each week you will explore the fundamental concepts through readings\, case studies\, and short videos. Then you'll meet in-person with your d esign team to get your hands dirty practicing the relevant human-centere d design methods. \;\n \;\nLet's get as many teams together as we can for the next course!

As a result\, we’ve all begun to feel the pinch o f “the cost of free.” \;\n \;\nIn 2018 some of us started pushing back. People like former Google Design Ethicist Tristan Harris and group s like the Center for Humane Technology sought to make our digital tools more human-centered\, more accountable and maybe a little less less pow erful -- and their views flipped from fringe to the mainstream in what h as been called a “techlash.” \;\n \;\nOn January 29\, we’ll gather for a hands-on look at how design is at the heart of this issue: the bo ttomless newsfeeds\, the limited menu choices\, the proliferating Autopl ay function\, notifications set to “ON” by default\, and all the intermi ttent variable rewards that turn our phones into slot machines with dopa mine payouts. \;\n \;\nWe’ll examine our own relationships to our devices and the apps we can’t stop looking at. And we’ll explore what a truly human-centered digital ecosystem could look like. \;\n \;\nP CDT organizer Patrick Sharbaugh will be joined by Dr. Dan Rubin\, a Port land clinical psychologist who specializes in mindfulness-based psychoth erapy and is an adjunct professor of psychology of Maitripa College\, wh ere he teaches courses on the intersection of psychology and Buddhism. D an and Patrick are both active members of the Community for Humane Techn ology\, the outreach arm of the Center for Humane Technology whose aim i s to align technology to humanity's best interests. \;\n \;\nBring your mobile device. You’ll need it! \;\n\n\nTags: design\, designthi nking\, hcd\, ethical design\, humanetech\, ux\n\nImported from: http:// calagator.org/events/1250474825 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Community-Design-Thinkers/events/2576 93072/ SUMMARY:Addictive By Design: How Our Phones Hijacked Our Lives and What W e Can Do About It [Portland Community Design Thinkers] LOCATION:Vacasa Office: 850 NW 13th Ave.\, Portland Oregon 97209 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191118T181835Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191211T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191211T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191118T181835Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191118T181835Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476436 DESCRIPTION:We're finishing out 2019 having collectively presented roughl y 85 human-centered events.
