​“Bringing The Makery Group to our school was honestly my favorite part of the school year!
​I really think being a User Experience Designer could be for me.”

Hey high schoolers - we made a fun online design class for you!

Are you an expert doodler? Maybe you love design movie posters? If you are passionate about art, or design, we made a fun and free class to help you learn more about User Experience Design. 

You may not have heard of it, but User Experience Design is one of the fastest-growing jobs at companies like Spotify, Apple and Google. 

At home, at school or on the go, you can learn about digital design then chat with a real User Experience Designer to get feedback on your work at learn about what the career is really like.

To our teachers & nonprofits, we're here to support you too! 

We partner and volunteer with teachers and youth-based nonprofits to spark students interest in digital and technology careers.

We're always happy to stop by your class or nonprofit and set up fun and collaborative design learning sessions!

We'll also take some time to discuss UX design career paths for students of all backgrounds. 

Also, each quarter we partner with a Minnesota nonprofit to provide pro bono design services.
