Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any prerequisites in terms of design, coding, or AI familiarity?
No, this workshop is intended for beginners. Foundational UX knowledge is helpful.
What design concepts will be taught in this workshop?
Design methodology needed in building Conversational Interfaces. You will be introduced in the discovery process of an example Chatbot project, and leave with a FigJam template that you can practice with.
What accounts need to be set up in advance?
Students need Figma, Claude, and Voiceflow accounts. Free accounts will work.
Will this be mostly hands-on building, critique, or demos?
First, we will recap design method templates followed by activities to practice the design canvas. Then, we will plug our work into Voiceflow to build the bot.
What is the anticipated outcome or goal of this session?
By the end of this workshop, we will build a sample bot using Voiceflow, and deploy the bot on the browser.
Is there a pathway to continued involvement with Femmecubator or Civic Tech projects?
After the workshop, students can choose to participate as volunteers through Femmecubator’s Open Civic Tech program (as slots become available.)
