CU Design-a-thon 2026

CU Design-a-thon is a three-day, virtual event that brings student designers together to build innovative, user-centered solutions. Students will create a prototype of an app or website (no coding required!) that addresses a specific problem. During the design-a-thon, students will have the opportunity to attend beginner-friendly workshops from industry professionals and meet student designers from all across the country. We hope to help designers grow both soft and hard skills in empathizing with users, defining a set of goals and needs, developing products, and improving confidence and creativity as a designer.
