minded people from 10 countries
HackMeOut Tbilisi is going to be the largest hackathon in Caucasus with over 160+ participants from 10 different countries (V4 countries and Eastern Partnership countries). This is one of the most exciting part of the hackathon – to find yourself in such an international environment and to work in team with people who have different mentality, cultural background and point of views depending on where they come from. Creating that kind of atmosphere is crucial for working on IT products, which today grow and move very fast from local to global markets.
This event is for those who are keen on learning new things, working hard and coming up with innovative solutions for contemporary problems. No specific background is needed, just to be interested in UX/UI and have positive mindset.
HackMeOut Tbilisi will consist of two parts: learning and applying the acquired knowledge.
On the first day participants will have an intensive training on the topic of UX/UI. If you have never heard about UX/UI, that’s not a problem. Professionals from the industry will provide basic and necessary knowledge for solving the subsequent task. On the second day, participants will be divided into teams and during the whole day will work on a solution for a challenge which will be given on the spot.
So what is the core methodology behind HackMeOut?
HackMeOut is based on a methodology developed by Jake Knapp at Google Ventures. Design Sprint is a “greatest hit” of design thinking and user-centered design (UX Design) which we formed into a hackathon.
Why UX/UI?
To get competitive advantage in business today is not easy. People are looking not just for the product, but also for emotions and pleasant experience. UX/UI are relatively new fields, but extremely important for achieving that. User experience and User interface are closely related and both equally important for developing a successful product.
User experience is about the whole experience customers have while interacting with the product, it’s about how they feel, their emotions, how easy is to use the product, what features it has, how they work. So basically everything a customer experience from the first to he last contact with the product.
User interface is more about the design of that products, the aesthetic experience, how it looks, what are the colours, the layout, etc.
Considering the fact that the market today is overcrowded, UX/UI could be the determining factors for winning the competition, therefore HackMeOut Tbilisi will focus on this.
