Online Course Curriculum Development

The goal for this project will be to outline a set of key concepts and learnings, of the students' choosing, that will ultimately comprise an immersive online experience for students to explore technology, innovation, and business. The end product of the students' work will be a script which can be transformed into an online course with the assistance of voice actors and our team of programmers.

User Experience Design

eHacks Events is a non-profit dedicated to providing interdisciplinary learning experiences to post-secondary students across the country. To facilitate this mission, we run competitions and events with workshops, networking, and mentorship to help students collaborate in cross-functional teams and build new skillsets. Many of these events, like our flagship event, is free for students to attend. To ensure we focus our resources on the students who would benefit most, we require students to fill out an application to attend. We would like to improve our website to collect these applications, manage user accounts, and inform applicants of their admission decisions. Our current website is built in Node.JS, Express, React, and MongoDB (aka the MERN stack), and we would like to build these new functionalities using the same technologies. Students working on this project can expect to learn the following:Use Figma to develop a responsive websiteCreate a cohesive design strategy to match eHacks' brandWork collaboratively with developers and product owners to adapt design as needed
