About Learning Hackathons
We believe the best way to learn is by doing. A lot of our members have enjoyed the Weekly Challenge format where they get to improve existing products, in a short time.
Some members asked us: can we have something where we can go through the whole design and product process from scratch? And along the way, can we also get feedback on improvements?
Voila, we give you Learning Hackathons: a 4 week program of deep problem solving coupled with continous feedback, peer learning, live sessions and yes, prizes.
Participants will need to pick any app or product of their choice from a sector decided by UXHack eg. Fintech, E-commerce.
Each week, you will then be given a problem statement on one key skill: Research, Analytical Ability, Problem Solving, Design Sense.
Mid of the week you will get one-on-one feedback from us on your draft submission, before the final submission for that week. You will also get feedback on your final submission, each week.
All along you will be scored and can track your progress: find strengths and areas of improvements. You will also be competing with other participants and learn from them: you can view their submissions and interact with them via an exclusive slack/whatsapp group.
Finally, each week we will have a discussion on the key insights and learning from the past week.
Oh and one more thing: There will be a ‘demo day’ at the end where the top ranked participants get to present to judges from top companies and stand a chance to win the grand prize.

What past participants have to say
I’ve had a wonderful experience working on the challenges that UXHack posted. The detailed feedback and perspectives provided were thought-provoking and insightful. Overall, it was a great learning experience! Kudos to the UX Hack team for this initiative of theirs which is truly one of a kind.
My first reality check about knowledge regarding UX happened on this platform, where I got to interact with interesting minds from different professions, who came together to come up with best possible solutions to real life scenarios. The expertise and knowledge base that UXHack team has brought in is commendable. I am looking forward to participating in more challenges ahead.
