The Design Project Hackathon

Join us in person hackathon event at the California College of the Arts (CCA) on November 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM (Pacific Time) for a tangible workshop to learn how to "design with code".

This event will be led by Dianne Alter, Co-founder of The Design Project. She will do a deep dive into the creative process and learn how to craft powerful, engaging designs using AI.

We will be in Room N200 in the new Doubl Ground building on the 2nd floor.

Tools we'll use:

• Claude Code
• Cursor (AI-powered code editor)
• Figma MCP (connects your designs to AI)
• GitHub (to ship your code)
