AMY EHLERS UX Design

Maker Camp

Maker Camp was a six-week virtual camp for young teens. It was a collaborative effort between Google and Maker Media. The site had some unique challenges the toughest one being conflicting business objectives. Google wanted to send users to Google+ and Maker Media wanted users to go to makezine.com. The second was modifying the workflow at each stage of an activity. We had approximately 2 weeks to design and build the site. In the end, multiple teams pulled together to make Maker Camp 2013 a huge success with 20,828 signups. Maker Camp is expanding to a year-round event and a redesign is underway to make it even more successful in 2014.
