After a successful experience with the 2012 challenge, Jeremy Yuille 
and I are the co-chairs for the IxD13 2013 Student Design Challenge, 
sponsored by Intel Labs.

Entries are open now, and close on December 1, 2012. Be in the 
running to win a scholarship to Interaction 13 in Toronto, and take 
part in an exciting master class around the design challenge.

The challenge theme for 2013 is Playful Technology

With every passing year, technology becomes further embedded into 
every aspect of our lives. With its increasing ubiquity, our 
traditional relationship, where technology is a tool for completing 
tasks and accomplishing goals, is receding. Now, people (especially 
young people) look at technology as a way to connect, and even 
interact with in a less-structured and playful manner.

This year, Interaction and Experience Research (IXR) at Intel Labs 
and the IxDA challenge you to consider these paradigm shifts in what 
technology means and how we interact with it. Building on the work 
that Intel Labs has been doing around the changing relationships we 
have with technology, we want you to explore the experience 
implications of "playful technology."
Frequently when we design products and services that utilize 
technology, we think in terms of satisfying a user need, or enabling 
the user to achieve a goal, complete a task, or solve a problem. What 
if we instead think about designing playful experiences for people, 
in which there is no end goal, people are encouraged to explore, be 
spontaneous, and creative? By allowing people to experiment, 
collaborate, create, and share, this goes well beyond gameplay. Look 
at children's play for inspiration, where often the simplest raw 
materials lead to completely unexpected outcomes and hours of engagement.

The challenge is open to current students and anyone who has 
graduated in 2012.  It runs in two stages: an online entry followed 
by an on-site masterclass and design challenge in Toronto. See 
http://interaction13.ixda.org/studentdesign.php for more information 
and to enter.
