Comment

Inspiration

The barrier we addressed was the lack of access of mentorship programs for women of color and non-binary POC.

What it does

We created a professional mentorship platform called TheirStories designed for female and non-binary students and women of color. We seek to bridge the gap in available mentorship programs for female and BIPOC STEM students. TheirStories is an information hub that provides accessible opportunities, events, and resources.

How we built it

After extensive industry research and competitive audit, we created the platform on Django and Figma.

Challenges we ran into

Time constraints for user testing and the need for more extensive research.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a meaningful project targeted to empower women. Providing a platform for women and non-binary folks to share their professional experiences and knowledge with emerging STEM leaders.

What we learned

User research and empathy is important throughout each step of the design process. Empathy is key in addressing issues with design.

What's next for TheirStories

Continue to work and improve on the prototypes.
