We are hosting a ProductDesignathon OPEN TO ALL MAJORS on May 22, 2016.

Our day-long event will promote collaboration between students from different disciplines to solve problems in the world. Unlike other hackathons that are primarily ruled by software solutions, our Product Designathon will promote the creation of an entire product through human-centered design and the design thinking methodology (which means NO PROGRAMMING necessary).

The day will start with a keynote speaker, rolls into a four-hour "hackathon," followed by thought-provoking mini-games and an awards ceremony to reward those students with the most innovative and relevant ideas. For more information and to register for the event, visit. An interactive timeline of our event will be available soon!

Thank you to our sponsors for helping make this event possible!

However, to guarantee a t-shirt and space in our event, fill out this Google Form: 

• Problem Solving
  Does the product really solve the core need? Or is the product just a result of a random idea rather than based on a needfinding activity?
• Human-Centered
  Does the product implement elements of Human-Centered Design? Do you need a manual to understand how to use it? Are all of the buttons mapped properly? Is it apparent how to use it just by looking at it?
• Innovative
  Have you seen a similar product before? What makes this product unique?
• Aesthetics
  This criterion is all about lookin' good. Is the product sexy and inviting? Would you want it in your home?
