Creative Team Photos from RGD's 8th Designathon
08/03/22

From March 4 to 6, 2022, 10 teams gathered virtually to participate in the RGD's second virtual Designathon, our 8th to date. 

 

At RGD's Designathon, students and grads spent approx. 12 hours working on real-life design projects for non-profit organizations. This event is an opportunity for participants to connect, network and get real-world experience while using their expertise to contribute to a meaningful cause.

 

To encourage a well-deserved break from their hard work, we asked the groups to share creative team photos for a chance to win FREE streaming passes to DesignThinkers Vancouver.
