2021 TechKnowledge Hackathon: Supporting Design by Humanity Share
In its second year, the hackathon held during ATD TechKnowledge 2021 took a fully virtual form. This year, the goal was to support Design by Humanity (DxH), a nonprofit design collective and apprenticeship program pairing experienced creatives with fresh faces to collaborate on real-world projects advocating for black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).

The organization wanted to improve its onboarding experience and retention of volunteers.
