About Design Jams

Design Jams are one-or-two-day design sessions, during which people team up to solve engaging User Experience (UX) challenges. here will be one challenge for all teams, that will be announced on the day. No need to prepare anything! It’s not a competition and there is no prize to win. Learn more about Design Jams.

History

The first public Design Jam took place on the 20th November 2010 at the campus of City University London, Clerkenwell, London. It was supported by Mozilla Labs, City University's HCID department & Johnny Holland.

Who should attend Design Jams

Anyone really – Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) & Design Students, Interaction Designers, UX Researchers, Information Architects, UI Designers, Web Designers, Graphic Designers, Developers + more… The day aims to improve collaboration skills and help attendees learn and practice various UX techniques including but not limited to Research, Brainstorming, Sketching, Wireframing and Prototyping.

What happens at a Design Jam?

Attendees sign up in advance. Upon arrival they assign themselves to teams based on the skills they could contribute and what they’d like to learn. Teams are then presented a design challenge that they tackle by doing research, sketching, guerrilla testing and other UX techniques. They are encouraged to share their process and ideas halfway through enabling them to get feedback from other teams as well as other mentors in attendance during the day. The day concludes with final presentations to the entire group. Outcomes could take the form of sketches, storyboards, a video or even a prototype – whatever communicates the idea best.

What happens to the ideas we come up with?

All output materials will be shared on the public Design Jams wiki, and teams will be asked to compose a blog post about their design process and ideas.
