Collaborated with 3 other UX Design students at a 5-day hackathon at BrainStation, where we competed against 2 other teams of 3-4 Design students. Day 1 we were tasked by Royal Caribbean to present a solution towards driving positive change through donations.
Launched in 1969 Royal Caribbean is a cruise line that has sought to innovate and, as a result, has accomplished award-winning success.
Royal Caribbean has partnered with Make-A-Wish, a nonprofit organization, with their Wishes at Sea campaign in an effort to help deserving children realize their wishes.
At the time of the project, there were no CTAs for donations on the Royal Caribbean main pages, and the Wishes at Sea campaign web page could only be found via search.
My cohort & I were tasked with finding a solution to drive positive change through donations to the Wishes at Sea Campaign. By day 5, I, alongside my team, would present our solution to a panel of 4 UX experts from Royal Caribbean and be evaluated.
