You’re invited to our UX Design Hackathon this weekend! It’s pay-what-you-can to get a ticket and all payments go towards maintaining free UX resources for our growing community at UX Woman :)
So here’s the link! Register today for our interactive hackathon! Since this will be an interactive session, we expect folks to feel comfortable ideating with us with their camera on— if you are uncomfortable with that, you can still follow along but might not have as much interactive access.
Some details on the hackathon: Land $100K+ UX jobs, lead design strategy, and launch impactful startups, designing for your community & rethinking the status quo.
Our alumni our 7-Month UX Design Accelerator LIVE program also go on to lead design strategy across startups, consulting agencies, and large corporates. Our alumni have landed UX roles and interviews at Verizon, Google, Nike, GE Aviation, CVS and more…
Some even go on to start their own companies, solving problems for invisible and unseen communities that are women-centered, BIPOC-centered, immigrant-centered and LGBTQ+ centered. What’s a community that you would like to help?
This is a chance to get a taste of what the 7-Month Accelerator program offers to see if this is even the right fit for you in the first place.
