Have you ever visited a website so awful, you wonder how someone even designed it?


At “HackRPI’s Worst UI Competition,” you can learn how! C
ome learn about the principles of UX/UI design and the basics of Figma! Then flipped what you've learned around and create your own prototypes of ugly interfaces using Figma or even HTML, CSS, and JS. Absolutely no experience is required! 

Your prototypes will then be judged and ranked for a chance at winning an Air Fryer or a JBL Speaker! There will be free pizza, snacks, drinks, and Awake chocolate for all participants! 

Make sure to mark down “HackRPI’s Worst UI Competition” on Sunday, March 15th, in LOW 4050 from 12 PM - 6 PM on your calender.
