Held from February 15, 2025, to February 23, 2025, the training aimed to equip students with the essential skills for designing user-centered and aesthetically pleasing digital interfaces.

Bridging Theory and Practice

The training was a hands-on, project-based course that introduced participants to modern design workflows and industry-standard tools like Figma. The curriculum balanced creative design principles with technical implementation, covering a wide range of topics:

  • Introduction to UI/UX and Industry Trends
  • Design Thinking and Human-Centered Design Principles
  • User Research and Empathy Mapping
  • Wireframing and Prototyping
  • Typography, Color Theory, and Visual Hierarchy
