Project content
The Leonardo project is a collaboration between four leading design and engineering schools of Europe with three partners in New Zealand to develop a unique multi-cultural world-class learning experience in Interaction Technology and Design. Over the course of three years, approximately 72 students will travel from New Zealand to the EU and the EU to New Zealand, accompanied by 12 faculty members. This experience will expose New Zealand students to the richness of European design while teaching Europeans about the unique creativity of New Zealand. These students will be the next generation of interaction designers who will develop the products that meet the needs of the future.
