This weekend we were apart of a hackaton/ design-jam for a “design for good” project. The goal of the project was to tackle the problem of how technology can help young people with depression. This project was sponsored by Big Radical Design Group, the Nation Centre For Universities and Business and The XD’s (The Experience Design Group).  People from all different fields were apart of it from medical, business and design.  They all came together and worked in 5 different groups to collaborate on a solution for this problem.  Being able to work in a creative setting and collaborating with others to come up with and design solution for a real problem in the world was amazing.  By being apart of this design jam it not only gave real professional experience but also re-solidified my passion for graphic design and my reasons for going into this field.  Honestly words can’t begin to describe how amazing of an opportunity it was to be apart of this.  This is, by far, the highlight of my trip.  I can’t thank Regina enough for setting this up for us.
