CIID at Reboot 11 conference
The CIID students set up an open interaction design lab at the 2-day Reboot conference to act as consultants for any ideas conference participants wanted to share. The lab was located in the center of the venue. This was the first time Reboot tried this open lab approach. The students worked with participants and helped develop ideas that were then displayed and published. The following pages provide a diary of the students' experiences at Reboot 11.

The idea was for students to act as consultants//designers/ prototyping gurus/partners on any random ideas that conference participants wanted to share. Any ideas produced are open source and were displayed on a big wall at the venue and published in the Reboot book and on the website. This was the first time Reboot tried this open lab approach. It was an experiment but almost immediately a good synergy was struck and a dialogue between the conference participants and the students evolved naturally. The lab was located smack-bang in the middle of the venue, so in line with the theme for this years conference - it was action stations from the word go.
