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.)
