Abstract
This paper attempts to associate creativity and design thinking with the mediated technology. It represents the results from creative thinking experiences of human computer interaction (HCI) students within the design of interactive artifacts. The objective is to demonstrate how to engage students in learning by doing and to link theoretical concepts with design practices during the process of producing artifacts. Our findings suggested that creativity is not taught and students when they are not provided with the work statement, they get the opportunity to be more creative and engaged during the learning process by discovering the idea and planning its execution.
