Introduction to UX - 3 Session Workshop Series

​Join us for a series of UXHI workshops to start building a career in the UX/UI pathway!

​Each workshop will run from 4:00pm - 5:30pm.

​Session 1 (September 29): Think Like Your User

• ​Great software isn't just functional; it's intuitive, useful, and built around the people who use it. In this interactive introduction to User Experience (UX), you'll learn how successful products begin by understanding users rather than jumping straight into code. Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, you'll practice identifying user needs, uncovering pain points, and reframing problems from a human-centered perspective.

​Session 2 (September 30): Designing Solutions

• ​Once you understand the problem, how do you design a solution? This workshop introduces the fundamentals of translating user insights into intuitive experiences. You'll learn how designers organize information, map user journeys, sketch ideas, and create wireframes before development begins. By the end of the session, you'll have built your first low-fidelity prototype and experienced how rapid iteration can save time and improve outcomes.

​Session 3 (October 1): Testing, Collaboration, and Careers

• ​The best products aren't perfect on the first try. They improve through feedback and collaboration. In this final workshop, you'll learn how usability testing helps teams validate ideas early and reduce costly mistakes. You'll test prototypes, identify usability issues, and explore how engineers, designers, product managers, and researchers work together to build successful products. We'll conclude with insights into UX careers and how these skills can strengthen your future software engineering projects.

​Note: These workshops build upon each other, please be sure to sign up for all workshops you are able to join.
