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.
Our flagship event, eHacks at Western University, is coming up in February, and we are looking for ways to improve our event experience for our competitors, sponsors, mentors, judges, and organizers. This role will also include outreach efforts to external stakeholders, like workshop hosts, to ensure they build cohesive workshops that fulfil eHacks' mission.
You'll be tasked with using design thinking methodologies to identify the pain points of our stakeholders from past events, and identify ways we can solve them. Using these insights, you'll create event resources (e.g. templates, rubrics, etc.), a comprehensive itinerary, and programming that will amplify our mission. You'll also create marketing materials to promote your incredible improvements to our competitors and get them excited for eHacks at Western University.
You can expect to learn the following:
- The design thinking process and how to identify user needs
- How to prioritize the needs of various stakeholders to spend resources in the most impactful way possible.
- Attention to detail and project management
- Oral and Written Communication
- How to communicate effectively via promotional channels (e.g. social media, print, etc.)
