This is sooo nice!
My Intro Psych course includes an assignment where randomly paired students complete the 'Fast Friends Procedure', designed to generate closeness between strangers. Today two former students came by to tell me that they met through this class assignment and just got engaged ❤️

This just made my day! The UX design course is so much work! Bringing 13 groups of students to care homes twice in 2 months is a commitment! But when you receive comments like this it makes it all worthy So many cool ideas to improve the life of people with dementia this year 😍

Mensen met dementie zijn ‘partner in design’ bij het toepasbaar maken van technologie. Aldus prof. Wijnand IJsselstein van de @TUeindhoven op de bijeenkomst #DefeatingDementia. Warme technologie. Dat ondersteunt @alzheimernl graag! @Psych_Tech #ECD
