TRANS ACTION AWARD

The purpose of “TRANS ACTION AWARD” is to nurture talent, accelerate industrial proliferation, encourage innovative research and development, and promote user experience research and design. “TRANS” is a Latin term, means “leap,” “exceed” and “change.” “ACTION” means “mobility.” “TRANS-ACTION” presents the concept, “cross-boundary with mobility.” A combined word meaning, TRANSACTION is also a synonym for “creating commercial benefit.” We believe that “TRANSACTION” will nurture rookie talents and future products for the change of people’s lives, and the creation of happy user experience with a transcend generations revolution.

The three features of “TRANS ACTION AWARD”: (1) Interdisciplinary teamwork: participating team covering the research, design, and technical personnel. (2) User-experience thematic courses: link the industry needs, arranging participating teams to join thematic courses. Taking “user demand” as the core, progressively inputs demand analysis, design concept creative thinking, prototype production, design, and testing to practice the product design process. (3) Industry instruction: Inviting design and development directors from the industry and hands-on experience of the UX experts to guide participating teams and correct their works.
