Introduction to User Experience Design (UX)

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the general concepts of user experience design. This class has no prerequsites and does not require any knowledge of programming. It is designed to complement and be taken with the existing CoderDojo courses in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG and Mobile application development.
