UX-focused HACKATHON

UX Designaton 2023

We hosted our inaugural UX-focused hackathon in partnership with Miami Hack Week in January 2023.Our participants worked in teams of 2-4 and engaged in a week-long design sprint where they were challenged to create a digital solution to help improve the hacker experience at Miami Hack Week.

Our participants talked to users, identified pain points, and prototyped compelling digital solutions for their target audience.At the end of the week, they presented their projects at Demo Day to our judges and the general public.Throughout the week, we also hosted UX workshops, talks, mentorship, and networking opportunities for over 170 attendees.
