Design Challenge

ABOUT

This design challenge is to help students understand how to redesign a platform/app/product to be more inclusive to meet customer needs. It will be open to the students at AMIE HBCU colleges and universities and WBHR-LSAMP institutions. To participate in this, students need to form a team with up to 5 students across their own campus. After forming the team, registration must be done on the registration site (which will be open later).

Participating teams work closely with leaders at Amazon to redesign a platform/app/product to be more inclusive to meet customer needs. For participating in this design challenge, no experience is necessary – only need to have your own unique point of view. The more unique perspectives, the better!

The challenge is open to all currently-enrolled undergraduate students at the University of the District of Columbia, all HBCU colleges and universities, and LSAMP institutions.

Selected AmazonNext scholars are required to participate in this design challenge.
