Welcome to team Get Walking’s website and blog. This team formed to help motivate people to take a walk; we are a very multidisciplinary group from the School of Information and the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan. 4 of our 5 team members are in the School of Information’s Interface and Interaction Design class, and we are also taking part in this year’s CHI student design competition. We will partner over the course of the semester with a local Ann Arbor organization, Get Downtown, which is also heavily invested in motivating people to walk. Our team is looking forward to developing creative, engaging, and user-centered designs to get people to go take a walk.
