Looking to practice your UX skills, learn, meet people and help an EdTech startup improve education? Welcome to UX Mini Hackathon Series. What is the UX Mini Hackathon? Our UX mini hackathons are short one-evening events featuring real organizations that provide problems that can be addressed with design and technology.

Teams are provided with feedback from clients and mentors and can win in various categories (and get prizes, if available). Who should attend? Those who want to improve their UX/prototyping skills by helping a real organization: UX and UI designers, product designers, researchers, product people, developers, aspiring UX professionals and other tech people who want to meet new people, learn and advance their UX skills in a team environment. What will the format be like? - Organizations are invited and requested to provide a problem that they would like help with where design and technology can help (design brief will be shared with attendees a bit in advance) - During the 3 hour UX hackathon, the teams will be able to put together a basic idea and prototype their solution - Teams will have the opportunity to present their solution to the client(s) and UX mentors and get feedback - The winning team and others interested might continue working on the project if they and the organization are interested Important - what you will need: - Laptops will be quite useful ;) - You will need to be able to use design / prototyping tools (any tools of your choice will work: i.e. Sketch, Adobe Suite (design), InVision, Marvel or Principle for Mac, Pixate, Axure, or at least POP, Balsamiq or Keynote)

Register for it here. “Without a clear understanding of the human side of virtual reality, the experience will always fail.” (Jason Jerald) Designing for virtual reality is an incredibly complex challenge. When done well, these experiences can be brilliant and pleasurable, but when done badly, they can result in frustration and sickness. In this free 3-hour workshop Jason Jerald, author of The VR Book: Human-Centered Design for Virtual Reality and Co-Founder & Principal Consultant of NextGen Interactions, through a combination of use cases and demonstrations will show how users perceive and intuitively interact with various forms of reality, discuss the causes of VR sickness, and demonstrate how to employ useful and pleasing content to create an immersive experience. When you leave the workshop, you will understand virtual reality from the human experience perspective, allowing you to better create – or simply appreciate – powerful VR applications, whether for entertainment, education, science, healthcare, or the myriad of other uses of this new and exciting technology. This workshop is for everyone, whether a developer, content creator, filmmaker, or simply someone interested in knowing more about VR. RAFFLE!
