Summer UX Design Bootcamp (Melbourne)

Learn User Experience Design with Academy Xi; we’ve condensed key learning outcomes into an intensive 1-day bootcamp – equipping you with an integrated understanding of User Experience and its varied applications.
This intensive 1-day training program equips you with a high level understanding of User Experience and how to apply the UXD process in your day to day work. As with all of our programs, our approach is a mix of theory and hands on practice.

Kicking off with problem identification, we will guide you through a hybrid approach to collaborative, Accelerated Design Thinking, Product Vision Exploration, Research Techniques, Feature Identification and prioritisation and how to translate your ideas into a lo-fi clickable mobile prototype, leading you to usability testing techniques.

With your well-rounded, industry-relevant skill-set; you’ll be ready to take on the dynamic world of User Experience Design!

This bootcamp is for
Anyone interested in User Experience Design
Designers wanting to get a taste for User Experience Design
Startups wanting to learn what it takes to create a truly viable product
Developers wanting to understand techniques that will help them build better products
Marketing teams looking at ways to better engage with customers
Small agencies needing to broaden their service offering
Managers looking to introduce UX principles into their workflow
What you will learn
Design Thinking, Accelerated
Taking Design School to a whole new level, we add a layer of complexity to make the creation process all the more vibrant, effective and meaningful.

Product vision
“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” (Simon Sinek) A condensed version of our Product Vision segment of our UXD:Velocity course, we explore the why rather than the how of a product.

Know your customers
Understanding who your customers are is critical; we’re going to teach you how to plan, write and broadcast surveys and how to plan, write and conduct effective interviews.

Ideation
The feature frenzy. How to come up with countless ideas that solve problems for your customers.

Minimum Viable Product
Ideas are limitless, focus is essential. You’ll learn some great techniques to decide which ideas are going to work for your product.

Communicating ideas
We’re going to focus our efforts on a mobile solution, so our sketch session is designed to get you designing.

Rapid Prototyping
Bringing your ideas to life, you’ll use your sketches to create an interactive mobile prototype.

Usability Testing
A product is only good if your good customers who are going to use it can actually use it. That’s why we call it usability testing and not user testing. It’s about testing your work to make it work.

Outcomes
By the end of the bootcamp, you will have enough tools and techniques to learn how to:

Plan and conduct effective and useful user research
Analyse research by creating personas
Write and lay out a customer journey
Sketch your ideas
Create a mobile prototype and
Conduct a usability test on your prototype
