↬ About CreateRU 2022

CreateRU is open to students of all majors, class years, and experience level. The experience is designed for both beginner and advanced designers. No experience is necessary and coding is not a required component to complete your projects. You will be able to work in teams of 2-3 and will have a week to build your projects. Don’t have a team? Don’t worry, use our Team Finding Figma to introduce yourself and reach out to other students who are looking for a team.

What will I be doing during CreateRU?

• Tuning in to our inspirational keynote speaker and full debrief during kickoff!
• Attending workshops with great speakers for you to learn and develop your design skills!
• Actively problem solving and prototyping with other designers!
• Getting hands-on experience with the UX design process!
