Register by March 1, 2021 to participate
If you’ve never participated in a design-a-thon, or don’t consider yourself a designer, you’re still welcome to come to take a good try at it! Design is essentially problem solving, and we think that everyone has the potential to be a great problem solver.
For this design challenge, we will be working with external partners to see how we can improve the community and maximize local impact.
We are holding the design-a-thon March 1-7, 2021. The first few days are comprised of workshops open to the public, and the last four days are dedicated to participants only. Most of these workshops will be held in the evenings, usually after 6pm. Currently, we are planning for all events to be remote.
The registration deadline is March 1, 2021. Please register to attend the workshops as early as possible to help us determine how to facilitate the event.
