In today's world, where digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) are everywhere, the education sector is challenged with updating its course formats to stay relevant and future-focused. This paper discusses an innovative educational approach in the Informatics and Design program, combining computer science elements with design education. The program differs from traditional computer science curriculums. It caters to students with heterogeneous levels of tech skills and emphasizes a balanced approach to teach both, design and software development. Central to this program is a unique project co-taught by a computer scientist and a service designer. The project centers on creating a chatbot, incorporating the latest in Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models. This initiative not only keeps pace with the latest tech developments but also stresses the importance of a human-centered design approach in merging design with technology. The outcomes of this educational approach demonstrate that when design and technology are taught in tandem, it leads to a more comprehensive understanding and skill set among students. This approach not only prepares them for the current landscape of digital technology but also instills a mindset of continuous adaptation and learning, which is crucial in the ever-evolving field of informatics and design.
