We want to expose students to project-based UX Research and Design to enable portfolio growth and professional learning opportunities. We want to get students from diverse backgrounds and with different academic interests involved to learn about the benefits of UX and where in their lives they can apply it.
Students can choose to collaborate on semester-long or year-long projects where they go through the entire design process from Empathize, Define, Ideation, Prototyping, and Testing. At the end of the semester, project teams present their work in a project showcase.
We host workshops and events every semester to teach students about UX, enable professional development, and provide a place for learning and discussion. Examples of events we had are: Figma Workshop, Prototyping Workshop, and UX Portfolio Workshop.
Students can apply to be a mentor or mentee in this program. Each mentor-mentee pair are required to meet at least twice a semester. Mentors may guide their mentees with networking, resume review, interview practice, and more.
