School of Information BSI students were tasked with helping the developers of BackPac, a mobile volunteer recruitment application, design a better tool to meet volunteer coordinators needs.

The project was part of the BSI capstone class, which consists of two semesters of research and design work for corporations and non-profit organizations looking to solve information problems.

UX can be a great job, until it becomes horrible. It's definitely not for everyone and it's not even about learning Figma, or the Design Thinking process. Is 2022 a good year to become a UX designer? Yes and No.
In this video we're going to look at the reasons NOT to become a UX designer this year - and I'll break down four of them for you - with the most important being last.

If you're a junior UX designer and you want to learn and grow, make sure you're ready for everything that this job entails.

I've been running a local meet-up centered around designing for FOSS and doingit thoroughly, choosing MuseScore as our first project. The meet-up hasattracted people inexperienced with both UX design and scorewriting and it'sbeen a good learning experience.

I'll talk about my experience with running a local meet-up, where we worked ondesigning MuseScore, an open-source scorewriting program, with a group ofvolunteers that had little to no prior experience with both the UX designprocess and with scorewriting. The design process we're going through isrigorous, including stakeholder and user research, persona creation,scenarios, and the like.

There are a few points that I can think of that made this a great experience.

1 - very well organized

Here is the user journey that I went through.

1. Signed up as a team of 5 people prior to the date
2. Showed up on that day and checked in on-site
3. Received a cap, stored personal items in a locker
4. Got an introduction presentation of the non-profit organization
5. Got an instruction on how to enter the site and what to do
6. Each team was called one after another
7. When called, washed hands thoroughly
8. Moved to an assigned station
9. Got on-site instruction
10. Started packing food with music
11. Count down started and stopped at 2 hour mark
12. Did a clean up based on the instruction
13. Left the station, disposed gloves and cap
14. Watched a closing presentation with results

As you can see, the entire journey was very well designed and organized.

Everything was clearly explained by the staff, so I understood what I was supposed to do through an every step of the way.

Because this was a volunteer work, everyone was there to want to contribute, so a clarity was very important.

2 - Fun

Food packing process was laid in a game-like, teamwork setup.
5 people made up one team.

Each person was responsible for a different task.
The 1st person scooped soy and rice, and poured those into a funnel.
The second person scooped vegetable and vitamin powder, and poured those into the funnel.
The third person opened up a plastic food package, and placed it right underneath the funnel to receive ingredients.
The forth person weighed the package with filled ingredients.
The fifth person sealed the package and put it in a box.

As I got used to the task and the flow, the background music was playing loud, and I actually felt that the entire environment was filled with full of positive energy.
In such an environment, I started wanting to improve my performance and compete with other teams.

The entire journey and the overall experience were designed almost as an amusement park experience where I could truly immerse myself and enjoy the activity.

I did this non-stop for 2 hours.
It was like a fun game. It was like a workout.
Once I was done, I felt good with a sense of accomplishment.
And I actually felt a lot shorter than 2 hour.

3 - A clear result

Once the work was done, I was able to see the concrete result of the session I participated in.
During the closing presentation by the host, we were presented…
- the number of boxes packed
- the number of meals (bags) packed
- how many kids are fed for a year
- how much it costs in total.

To be able to immediately see how much impact we were able to generate with our labors was very satisfying because I could feel that I contributed to the world in a very tangible way.

At the end, I felt that I wanted to come back again.

Obviously the non-profit organization who organized this had a clear motivation and intention, wanting to have all the volunteers come back again to do more volunteer works for them.

That’s why they worked hard to make sure that every step of their customer journey was a fun, easy to understand, delightful experience.

And this is exactly what we want for our customers to feel whenever they use products or services that we are designing, right?
