Teaching UI Design with Stitch

I teach user experience design, and I wonder if there are any recommendations on how to teach students to effectively use Stitch?

For background, students have no prior experience or training in design, and I would like them to learn UI design. I am concerned that they will use Stitch to generate their designs without actually understanding the UI design principles and without making informed decisions about the user flow, what to include in each screen, consistency across screens, etc.
Instead of trying to fight this, I would like to use Stitch to help students learn how to be better designers. Any ideas are welcome!

That’s a great idea. The underlying artifact behind Stitch is the frontend code. It could be a good way to make your students understand the relationship between design and code. I expect that most designers will iterate directly on production-ready code in the future.

I would also encourage you to try our export to figma feature!

Thanks for the reply. The course involves zero coding or frontend coding, so that is not what I was looking into. We do Figma designs. I did explore the Figma export feature. I am worried that students might use Stitch without or instead of understanding the design principles.

Do you have any suggestions for using Stitch to better understand designs instead of blindly generating them?
