UX Prototyping - Mini Hackathon

IMPORTANT:
to participate effectively in this hackathon, bring your laptop with your favorite prototyping tools already installed and a way to sketch your ideas and flows before you design or build them.

-------

Hello Everyone,

for our third meetup we'll try a “Hackers for Good” event. We are collaborating with Michael Lapin at “Product and UX Hackathons” meetup group so you can RSVP here or on their event page (https://www.meetup.com/Product-UX-Hackathons-NYC/events/229446713/).

The idea is to have a “brief” with the goal to solve a real world problem – in first event could be for example for Save The Children or NYC City Harvest.

You’ll have approximately 2 hours to:

– Design and build a prototype that “tells” your way to solve the problem

– You can use any prototyping tool of your choice from InVision, to Principle for Mac, code it if you prefer or use a text messaging platform if you prefer.

When the teams are done, you’ll have 3-5 minutes to present your prototype, if you’d like feedback.

Teams can be solo teams (one member) or up to 3-4 members.

The “winners” and “honorable mentions” will be picked by a panel (TBD) and by popular vote.

Prizes for this hackaton are “good karma” in various sizes ;)

If we have a sponsor by the time of the event we might have a real prize too, but can’t promise yet.

I'll be helping with any prototyping questions you might have.

See you soon!

Francesco
