UiBs media network Teklab is organising the first ever Master Student Demo at the program for media and interaction design (MIX). The event will take place in the Atrium in Media City Bergen from 10.00 to 12.30 on Friday May 3rd.

This is an event in the newly established “Innovation Days” at the MIX program. This time around our master students will present their value propositions and minimum viable prototypes. The audience will give them input and help them to learn as much as possible about the potential for value creation in their projects. The event is free for all, but you have to register. The deadline for lunch registration is Thursday May 2nd at 12.00. Please register here and you will get a free lunch.

The “Innovation Days” is a joint effort from alle the teachers at MIX plus the administration and the students themselves. The event is organized by the program board for the media and interaction design (MIX) program at the Department of Information Science and Media Studies, with professor Lars Nyre as the main organizer. The Infomedia department and TekLab sponsors the event with a free lunch for participants and audience alike
