Design League . Join now!

I’m reaching out to ALL BASE STUDENTS to share an opportunity for some of your students to join our weekly virtual digital design program. Infosessions to join start next week!

We are working on recruiting 70+ high school students to Mouse's "Design League" program- Here's a fun zine about the program too.

We've found the students who get the most out of the program were nominated by teachers who cared about their futures and saw their potential. Hearing from you "I think you would be amazing in this program" helps give a student who might not think they are qualified the confidence to try it out!

Here's a summary of the post:

• Students spend the school year working in teams once a week after school to design an app that solves a problem for the community.

• They will learn and practice human-centered design, community activism, UX/UI, coding, team, communication and workplace skills.

• There are 4 programs to choose from, each meets a different day afterschool, each week (remotely until it is safe to meet in person).

• To join: there are 4 infosessions to choose from, 2 next week, and 2 the following week - they have to go to one to learn how to apply: https://mouse.org/news/join-design-league-create-apps-that-support-our-community

• Must be able to commit to participating 1-day a week virtually, for the full school year.
