ISLET & SAP #MimmitKoodaa coding Challenge: 22.1.2021

Join SAP and Islet Group’s joint challenge to create a “Move with Purpose” application.
The challenge consists of two phases:
Step #1: User interface design
Step #2: Code the application

You can register to either one phase or to both. The Challenge launches for everyone on Friday 22nd January 2021.

Step 1:

This part of the challenge is for you if you are interested in user interface design. The challenge takes you through the different steps of concepting, wireframing, prototyping and testing the design and gives great insight to user interface design within application development.

The goal is to design application user interface for a Baltic Sea protection campaign and provide a way to collect funds for charity. The winning design will be used in the application development phase and will be published in the #isletgoesitämeri Baltic Sea protection campaign.

The course consists of a shared workshop, hands-on exercises and the attendees will receive feedback on the designs.

Each attendee will get to know the fundamentals of UI design steps, learn the basics of application wireframing and receive an Islet certificate for completing the course.
