Format: Virtual · Global · Collaborative
Hosted By IxDF Washington D.C.

What’s Happening

Join designers, developers, researchers, and makers from across the U.S. (and maybe around the world) for a week-long design jam where we’ll collaborate across disciplines to take an idea from concept to prototype in just 7 days.

This jam is part hackathon, part design sprint, and part creative playground. An opportunity to explore, experiment, and learn from others with very different skill sets.

Who We’re Looking For

Our goal is to foster balanced teams with diverse expertise and perspectives.
If you have experience or curiosity in any of the following, we want you on board:

• UX / UI Design

• User Research (UXR)

• Service Design

• Product Design

• Front-End / Full-Stack Development

• “Vibe Coding” (creative coding, generative visuals, motion, or sound)

• Data Visualization

• Physical or Tangible Prototyping

• Illustration

• Accessibility Design

• Interior Design

• Anything else! You name it!

How It Works

• Kickoff: Wednesday, January 7
  Meet your team, get your challenge prompt, and plan your approach.

• Daily Weekday Check-Ins.

• Final Presentations: Wednesday, January 14
  Teams share their prototypes, insights, and reflections.

• Each team will define their own tools and workflow

Before the Jam

We’ll host info sessions (TBA) to help you prepare, meet other participants, and learn more about how the jam will run.

What You’ll Get

• Hands-on collaboration with new people and new disciplines.

• A full week of creative focus on a meaningful challenge.

• Opportunities to prototype, test, and present your ideas.

• Optional mentoring and reflection sessions.
